Book Description
As the storm whirls around me, no choice grants me the simple peace of knowing that the rain has stopped, the winds have died down, and the dark clouds have disappeared. Others know this pleasure as they exit through the parted seas into peace, yet here I stay. The tempest outside this lonely isle takes me from time to time, yet when I try to find the footsteps of those before me that have survived, I find only the torn shingle, the abandoned car, or something just as useless to guide me. How do I get out of the eye of this storm? How do I find my way to what others have called “home”? Home… a fable to me, a legend.
Yet here I walk to find El Dorado, amidst nature’s fury to bind me hence. This hurricane cannot hold me any longer.
