The Darkest Question

Peoples' desire for sex can not only cloud one's judgment but will try and find satisfaction anyway it can, even if it means killing. This work follows the journey of Damien, a multilayered character, who struggles with his conflicting emotions for the one he loves: Astrea. In his journey, Damien not only faces emotional turmoil for what he has done to his beloved but endeavors to seek forgiveness, redemption, and peace: things that we, as all humans, often seek from our fellow brethren. In this modern and original twist on Dante's The Divine Comedy, the reader is plunged into a dark, erie but also subconsciously enlightening emotional, descriptive, and tangible journey themselves; leading the reader to not only be quick to turn the page for Damien's sake, but for their own.
