An unofficial retelling of the John Milton poem of the same name. I highly recommend you read Paradise Lost before this, because this is a sequel story. I figured if I was to do Paradise Lost then I might as well do this story as well. This story is a Biblical Fanfiction (pretty much no other way to say this) retelling of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan, because Jesus was fasting for 40 days. Once again, Wendigoon's video is being used as a basis as well as the poem itself and the actual Gospels in order to craft the novelized version of this story. Once again, this is not the beat-for-beat account of how the story actually went and more of an expansion of what came before, this time coming from the Gospels, specifically Matthew, Mark, and Luke. So if it makes you more interested in Biblical stories and history that's awesome, but realize that you should take some of these things with a grain of salt, but wisdom can be gathered from it either way. And once again, I'll probably be giving author's notes to further explain certain names and things that might not be well known to those who aren't as well-versed as others in Biblical canon and extra-Biblical lore. And once again, I am a Christian like Wendigoon is, and like him I believe there is reverence to be had with these names so I'm not taking any of it lightly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and God bless.

This story began as a NaNoWriMo 2012 work, with no planning, and even less idea of plot. I learned from that experience that I am not a 'pantser' -and spent about 20 painful months trying to turn my stream-of-consciousness 3-stories-in-one into one coherent novel, following the timeline and events in the Book of Genesis. I discovered that that is not a great way to build a plot. I ended after 5 more drafts, at about 60k words. There is another draft on my blog, slightly longer, a bit more experimental. This is only meant to be a marker of progress. I hope some may find it enjoyable, useful, and even helpful. If interested in the 6th draft: https://shiradest.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/martin-luther-king-rabbinical-commentary-poster-inspired-a-novel/ Peace, Shira
