Heaven That Never Was

A Prequel Short Story to the Award-Winning Screenplay Devil's Delight

Before the Fall.
Before Hell.
Before temptation reached Earth,
the Morning Star watched.

Bound by a Heaven that granted humans free will while denying it to its angels, Morning Star has observed humanity since the beginning of time. Their ability to choose, to desire, to fail, to indulge, fills him with a quiet dissatisfaction he cannot ignore.

When a moment of curiosity reveals a forbidden truth, that angels can bleed and can die, dissatisfaction becomes possibility.

As desire spreads through the heavenly ranks and a confrontation with a former friend turns fatal, Morning Star seizes control of a truth Heaven was never meant to reveal. To follow him is to forsake eternity. To remain is to accept a life without choice.

This is the first rebellion.
This is the beginning of Lucifer.

Heaven That Never Was is a mythic, sensual short story that serves as the official prequel to the award-winning screenplay Devil's Delight, exploring the origin of the Fall through desire, defiance, and the cost of free will.
