Saul of Sodom: The Last Prophet

Saul of Sodom: The Last Prophet

Bō Jinn

Philosophy / Religion / Contemporary

“Naomi loves you, Saul … She loves you in a way that neither you nor I can truly understand – in a way that only someone like her is capable of loving. But because of who she is, a world like ours can only destroy her. And because of what you are, her love will cause you pain unlike anything you have ever felt before..."The dystopian image of a world order built on perpetual war is Bo Jinn's backdrop to the story of Saul Vartanian; a veteran of the warzones, scarred both physically and emotionally by battles fought, and by the perverse order of the UMC to which his life and soul have been committed, and from which there is no escape. Saul’s struggle takes a dramatic turn, however, when he comes upon a figure of innocence and purity utterly alien to the world that bore him. Orphaned by the ever-growing blight of war and the spread of so-called “martial order”, little Naomi becomes Saul Vartanian’s last vestige of hope and his final redemption for a past long forgotten. . .

As two high school sweethearts and lovers are reunited after an eight-year absence, two tragedies are occurring. Pamela, at the age of twenty-six, is dying of cancer. Dwight, also twenty-six years old, is dying in a subtler way. Dwight has allowed financial success and prestige to erase his life’s passion. Fate brings these two long-lost partners together on a quest for transcendence.As two high school sweethearts and lovers are reunited after an eight-year absence, two tragedies are occurring. Pamela, at the age of twenty-six, is dying of cancer. Dwight, also twenty-six years old, is dying in a subtler way. Dwight has allowed financial success and prestige to erase his life’s passion. When fate brings these two long-lost romantic partners together during the last days of Pamela’s tortured life, everything that takes place after that is intended to allow you to meditate about difficulties and decisions that you will almost certainly have to face. Is all of your physical and psychological pain meant to simply be endured? Or is it your right to decide what limits you wish to place upon your own suffering? Finally, is it possible that a supremely patient and loving spiritual presence carefully knits together what might seem to be accidental or trivial events, so that even the darkest and most tragic of all of our lives disasters lead toward an ultimate state of ecstasy and transcendence?? Because these subjects are so crucial in all of our lives, I am offering “The Runway” to you as a free download. If this story assists you in any way, that will make my work worthwhile.My best wishes to you,Michael Naugle.
