Castaway Sky
"Tell me what you did wrong, boy." Eli felt his body attempt to curl up to hide. But the monster would always find him. "I-I ate s-some food, s-sir." CRACK. His father's fist hits the table. Eli jumps. "From where, you useless wench?!" Eli prayed to the gods to disappear. They never respond. Eli was offered to the gods. That's what they said when they pushed him into the sky-into the arms of a storm. But what waits in the clouds is not salvation. It's a reckoning. Haunted by memories, Eli tumbles into a orphanage with darker undertones than his own home. Each step toward breaking takes him deeper into a world where reality slips, gods whisper, and pain is stitched into obedience. As the line between dream and nightmare fractures, Eli must decide whether survival is worth surrendering his soul-or if falling is the only way to be free. A new chapter of pain is just beginning...
The Sins Of Jack Price
Jack had lived a life so full of sin even the Devil had questions Jack Price hasn't lived a very moral life. He cheats on his wife. He beats his kids and ignores those in need; although he believes himself to be a very worthy person. So, when he is hit by a bus and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the Devil, naturally he is surprised. After a pleasant dinner, Lucifer takes Jack on a horrific journey through Jacks own life, tormenting him with horrific visions and psychological torture. Caution!!! This story contains graphic adult content (sex, language, drug and alcohol abuse and adult themes, including domestic violence) reader discretion is advised. ***Frightfest 2016 silver winner*** ***Second place for best Horror in Wicked Awards*** Cover by @Finnyh From the frightfest judges: FINN H. ARLETT: Ben's narrative in The Sins of Jack Price is original and focussed, and the immoral main character after whom the story is named is oddly quite likeable. I found it fun to watch him squirm. Ben's depiction of Lucifer is what cinched this win for me, as he is snide, devious, sinister, but unapologetically charming about it all. Altogether a quality read from an upcoming author. GAVIN HETHERINGTON: BennyBedlam's imagination knows no bounds, and from what is presented in The Sins of Jack Price, he writes in a way that entertains with a very brilliant idea behind it. It's unique in its concept and I can't wait to see this writer grow and develop his boundless craft.Complete
