A Slice Of Life

Cloistered within a Rocky Mountain cave, Drake Forte is an amnesiac forced into a life of seclusion by a global Calamity.  He can’t remember how he got there or the events that immediately surrounded the Calamity.  But he’s determined to find out…if life would give him the chance.


Global catastrophes like earthquakes, dearth, darkness, blood moons, and red rains constantly hamper his struggle for survival.  A wolf-dog harasses his every step.  A hot-headed woman, Ashton Deveraux, stakes a claim to his territory and resources.  And a global conglomeration will stop at nothing to apprehend and assimilate all under its purview.


Needless to say, Drake is disheartened and wrestles on a daily basis to find a reason for living.  He must somehow remember his forgotten past, forgive himself for past wrongs, and find that life is worth living if he is to survive in the wild.  He comes to realize that the only way to do that is to acknowledge the one force he has been trying to deny: God.  However, that doesn’t come easy when the realization dawns on Drake that the Rapture has occurred and the Great Tribulation is upon him.


Written in the format of a personal journal, this is the journey of a man who has lost everything and attains for something.  Ultimately, it’s a story about the pursuit of love for self, God, and for a fellow human being in a stark setting, and the sacrifices that must be made for the sake of love.


The question is: how dire will those sacrifices be?
