The concept of a god or goddess, a deity, is a superior being. One who often time may have other worldly powers or control over natural forces at their disposal. Often time the idea of a deity is introduced as part of a mythology, a religion, monotheistic, polytheistic, perhaps apart of a pantheon. But rarely do we see modern day lore of deity's as was common in ancient societies. Perhaps this humanized the deity's to much for modern day humans, to think they where still worth worship the need to be clouded in mystery was required. An ant may look upon humans as a deity, perhaps with seemingly supernatural powers, with compared to their own individual life span seem to live for eternity. What are the beings we and others of our species before us had than considered deity worthy of worship? Perhaps another species whose day to day life seemed to us incomprehensible, the idea of such creatures being common place in their perception of the world itself preposterous. This story will seek to be a magnifying class to what such a society may be like. It follows a specific character, who struggles with identity, belonging, many things our and other species struggle with through our life to find ourselves. This is dark beginnings

"What if God was one of us?" Credit to Eric Bazzilion, and thanks to Joan Osborne for singing his brain-rattling words. Much earlier, my mother promised that if I applied myself, I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up. Then, from somewhere, I read that the best thing about being a writer is the ability to be anyone you want to be. So, I had quite a blend stirring in my imagination for years before I finally had the luxury of converting that concoction into words, and it shouldn't be entirely surprising that the central narrative of The Ghostwriter Series purports to be the autobiography of God or the Creator as He prefers. Before dismissing this, consider: Once upon a time, an audacious ape raised its head above the others and thought itself superior. Then, beginning with our first written words, I believe we've become active participants in creating our universe. Consider how far we've come from that first bipedal ape. Imagine explaining our SmartPhones to the Inquisition. From this point, how long until our descendants appear to us as gods, like those of Greek mythology? Are there any limitations, other than our imaginations, to what we can ultimately become if we don't destroy ourselves first?
