❝ a sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker than a germ. ❞
• • •
One tragedy was all it took for Austin to turn to the hurting man's prized substances: drugs and alcohol. One tragedy was all it took to unearth years of trauma; one tragedy was all it took to turn the perfect family man into a murderous criminal.
A string of poorly-hid murders lead to Austin's arrest and eventually a place on death row. Austin's prisonmate is 45-year old Jamie, a reserved man consumed with regret and a victim of racial injustice.
Austin observes the special connection Jamie has with a Book written in a foreign language, known to his comrade as the Qur'an. Jamie's growing interest in this Book causes him to transform into a man completely foreign in concept to Austin: a pious, religious man who devotes the remainder of his life to God.
Austin watches Jamie's transformation in awe, but will he follow in his footsteps?
TRIGGER WARNING. this story is based primarily on themes of murder, crime, substance abuse, abuse, and trauma.

Transcendence (A Muslim-Christian Story)
"So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity." "You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression. I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along. I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears. And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth. I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave." With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. Characters: Ameerah is a happy-go-lucky 23 year old who has recently graduated from med school.
