    About this ebook

    Entrapped in a small town where his father is the fanatical preacher of their strange religion, Paulus leads a life of boredom. Till one day he is chosen by the powers of a higher intelligence. He then feels the aura of Jimmy, who has served the others for more than a thousand years and a friendship grows. But Paulus's fanatical father wishes to beat Satan out of him, and things go wrong.

    David Jensen

    Residing in Germany since 1984 and linguistically integrated into the new society, fluent conversation dwindled as friends returned to the U.S.A. Since a few years, I’ve discovered new medication for my affliction, (see my Autobiography: “Gallant I stand with My Shaking Hands"), so now I’m able to type again. I found enjoyment in writing stories, ergo; I started my new hobby, with eclectic themes spanning the entire spectrum. Sometimes I will know the word in German, forgotten the English word, and need Bing Translator, but with each new story my vocabulary is getting back up to par. So, in the hope that you all enjoy what I write, I’ll continue as long as possible. And if you like my writing, especially if you paid for one of my stories, I would appreciate it if you'd post a review at Smashwords, and/or the retailer. And don't forget to share my link on Facebook, Linked In, Google+, Redit, Pinterest, or any of the many other social media sites.Near the bottom of each books page is “Also by This Author”, but unfortunately it list only the latest Ten E-Books. A complete list is at the bottom of my interview page: simply click on the interview hyperlink below.p.s. And don’t forget: "If you don't know what a word means, don't ignore the chance to look it up!”Greetings from Stuttgart Germany!David

      Paulus was most definitely the schools worst off child. It was the simple and plain truth! So skinny, with absolutely no muscle mass at all, he would’ve faded into the woodwork at the Oncology Hospice downtown. And the proverbial `icing on the cake´, as one could tell from his name, was the fact that he was the son of the Preacher! Unfortunate for him though, they were not from the normal Status Quo community church, but the ultra-religious group which had drifted into town a few years ago. His father had the tendency to preach to him regardless of: a) what Paulus was currently doing at the time, b) the time of
