The Devil and Miss Pyrm

The Sixth book. Third in the series of the trilogy “the seventh day”. This one is about the question of whether the human being is good or evil? The story to portray this is about a stranger who comes to a small village, where everyone knows each other and any activities doesn’t take long to spread around. There is a young woman who is having lot of dreams about moving out of the village like others of her age. The stranger puts up a game play in which all in the village are involved of choosing to make a sacrifice in order to attain some wealth which the stranger has got. His intention of playing the game is to seek and answer he is looking for “Is human being good or evil?” Extended debates on good and evil, many short stories related to the village and otherwise, some legends which people believe in.

Some quotes:
- There are 2 kinds of idiots – those who don’t take action because they have received a threat and those who think they are taking action because they have issued a threat.

- Japanese martial arts teaching- The best way to weaken one’s enemy was to get him to believe that you were on his side.

- Good and Evil struggle in all people on earth. It was all a matter of control. And choice.
