    Donald H Sullivan

    I'm a native Floridian, retired from the US Army, I started writing in the army, mostly training and tech manuals. Boring stuff, but it whetted my interest in writing. I've written sci-fi, thrillers, mysteries, humor, fantasies, horror, and more. I'm now living in NC. While in the army, I served in air defense artillery, military intelligence, and psychological operations. I also worked in Federal Civil Service as a quality assurance specialist, ammunition surveillance. I love writing, reading, most kinds of music, and animals--especially dogs.

      About the Author

      Part I: Temple of Eden

      Paul bounced around in the back seat of the patrol car as it moved through the pitted streets of New Covenant. He peered at the two wardens through the thick wire mesh separating the front and back seats.

      There must be some mistake, he said. Are you sure you’re not confusing me with someone else?

      A warden glanced back at Paul. It’s you The Spirit has summoned, Clod. Now shut up.

      But I’ve committed no crime. Why would The Spirit...

      I told you to shut up.

      The car passed by New Covenant Stadium, where the people of Eden came to worship The Spirit on holy days. Moments later, they reached the edge of the temple safety zone, and the car came to a stop. Paul, being a privileged citizen and thus allowed to enter the temple, knew that they would have to walk the remaining one hundred meters. The safety zone was a cleared area surrounding the temple where vehicles were not permitted; anything in the zone could sustain damage when the temple ascended.

      Only two days ago the temple soared up to repel another attack by the Demons, their third attack in as many months. Paul wondered if his arrest was somehow connected with the attacks. Did The Spirit believe him to be a spy for the Demons? But he was letting his imagination run wild; it was more likely that the wardens had simply made a mistake.

      One of the wardens unlocked the rear door and jerked Paul out. The warden prodded him in the back with his pistol.

      Move it, clod. You’re anxious to know why The Spirit wants you. Well, now you’re about to find out. The warden chuckled. If it’ll make you feel any better, it’s my guess he wants your head on the sacrificial altar.

      Paul did not share the warden’s sense of humor. He had committed no crime--certainly nothing to deserve the sacrificial altar. Indeed, it might be the two wardens who would end up on the altar when The Spirit discovered they had brought
