Good and Evil: Part One

We all fall prey to sin at some point in our life. It happens to some people sooner than later—especially a young sixteen-year-old hovercycle wreck victim, Brody Bienemy. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it happens to him before anyone else gets sucked into his self-created sinnado. This is a time frame during which the souls of the unsaved have been cast to Earth's parallel planet, Trendago—a second chance world that has been harboring the souls of the deceased for millions of years.
What happens to everyone who is not saved after the Second Coming? The answer comes from the most unsuspecting place: the damaged mind of this sixteen-year-old. Brody, once a brash and cocksure icon at Rumor Mill High School, is now faced with a life-altering situation that gets him exiled to a juvenile detention center masquerading as a treatment facility in the scorching and desolate Xerophyte Desert. Like every other psyche patient at Dry Sea Octofuture Health (DSOH), he is powerless and hopeless. Or is he?
During his treatment, Brody discovers—much to his astonishment—his capacity for prophetic ingenuity. By way of his inexplicable transformation and his invention of a dream machine, he seeks identity and purpose, after being spared death.
Will Brody's persistence, contrition for past sins, and newfound genius help him save himself, as well as his friends, from certain spiritual annihilation? Or will his growing awareness of their transgressions—many of them performed at his expense—inspire him to selfishly stand aside as they are cast into the searing pits of Nostradama, damnation for all eternity?
