The Book of Zern – Chapter Next
1. And Sherwood did know his wife and did begat Aric, Heather, Maren, and Adam in the land between the two great waters, and Adam, even the youngest son, did begat Sadie and did help to raise Emma in a home that he and his goodly wife Sarah did buy-eth in the southly land of the Saintly Cloud.
2. And Heather with Phillip did begat Zoe, Conner, Kipling and even a fourth child, which did promise to come forth in the month of July of the year of our Lord two thousand and ten.
3. And Maren with her spouse, one T.J. of Titusville, did also begat a child that they did expect to bring forth in the summer of that selfsame year, even a month past that of her sister, even August.
4. And Aric did continue to go forth to battle in far and distant lands, protected by the hand of the Lord, and miracles, and the blessed military doctors of Brooks Medical Center of the burn unit in the land of Texas, a land of much American support for the sons of Helaman that did go forth to battle in the lands roundabout.
5. Whereas the rising generation of our tribe did grow much in goodness and understanding and did begin-eth to lose their teeth, ride bicycles, and to be taught somewhat in all the learning of their fathers and mothers. And the children, even the youngest of the rising generation, did learn to walk like unto Frankenstein and did lurch about as they went forth to hunt lost snack foods that did rolleth under various countertops and footstools.
6. And Sherwood with his wife Linda, even the keeper of the records, did have their wrestle before Babylon, Sherwood even among the infidel peoples, which did dwell in the cities of the great waters in the lands northward—even General Motors Corporation. And he did dwell with them from time to time and did work much with their numbers and with the voice of OnStar, a voice which did sound forth from Heaven to guide and comfort many who did bring forth sufficient money.
7. And I did wrestle before the math department of Valencia, with much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, so that I might acquire the learning of the long dead Egyptians, who did measure much of their pyramids so that they might torment all generations of mankind with their mathematics--also algebra, and I did rejoice in the day of my deliverance, even the end of the semester.
8. And I make no more accounting of our days, sufficeth to say, that we did yet dwell in peace and harmony in the land of our first inheritance and we did call forth our tribe often to both counsel and to purchase Chinese food on the last day of the week, even Fridays. And we did rejoice in our good fortune and our blessings and we did confess God’s hand in all our doings.
9. And now I make an end.
