Chapter 34

After the second endless stroke, Jesse realized Gideon didn’t have any intention of increasing the tempo or changing the rhythm. And Jesse knew Gideon could keep up this pace for as long as he felt like it. Did he mean to completely turn Jesse to mush? Was the goal to destroy him before the end?
