Cover by: @cautiouselis Once Upon A Time...everyone gathered together to write. A story for the masses, written by the masses. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Do you find yourself starting on a new story without ever finishing the one before? Are you scared to start on your own book because you cannot "commit" or simply just don't have the time to get started on one? Do you have all those ideas floating around in your head but neither of them are long enough to be written into a full fledged story? Perhaps you decided that you want to embark on your writing journey but don't know how or where to start? Do you love surprises AND being left on the edge of the cliff AND all those unexpected plot twists, etc etc, all combined in one book? Have you found yourself binge reading romance novels one day, only to wake up the next day pinning for some action? Perhaps you were reading some adventure story wishing for it to take a dark turn with horror elements. If any of the above appeals to you, hop on the wagon! Get ready for a roller coaster ride with no specific destination as writers themselves don't even know what will happen to the story and readers get to enjoy a book not constricted to one genre. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Most importantly, have FUN!

What are we without flesh and blood? Are we nothing but a beating heart in a ribcage, a marching soul inevitably leading to our demise? Or are we here as a test of loyalty to our God, a God we do not know but must trust? And without this trust, we will be punished indefinitely for questioning his divinity. And what is a sheep without his shepherd? Without God, are we nothing but sheep led astray? How will we be guided to the light without a shepherd on earth? Should we trust our shepherd to tell us the truth? Or will we be covered in the blood of the lamb? A shepherd with blood on his hands could infect his flock with poison. And with this poison, he has control. And to Luke, this poison is all he knows. His seventeen years of life have been devoted to nothing else but God. He wakes up, goes to school or church, and sleeps; rinse and repeat. There is no place or time for anything else in his life, such as television, going out with friends, or discovering new hobbies. His father, Pastor Ivy, ensures this. His life purpose will be to serve the Lord and nothing else. A purpose that Luke believes is the right way. What else would there be to life? He hadn't questioned this until he met Gabriel, a man who was the complete opposite of him. A man who was strong in his sense of self. A man who didn't bow to anyone or anything and stood firm in his beliefs in The Church of Satan. A man who Luke feared. But also a man who felt like home to him.
