A man awakens in darkness. He does not know where he is?or who he is. The only certainty is pain.
Something has shattered his identity. Something malevolent. And it has not left.
Plunged into a nightmarish landscape where time fractures, memory betrays, and the self unravels, he must navigate a reality bent by unseen forces. Shadows whisper lies. Visions distort truth. Mirrors reflect what should not be. Each step deeper into this maze of torment brings him closer to answers?and further from safety.
But as distant fragments of emotion, names, and love begin to stir within him, so too awakens the presence that has bound itself to his soul. It does not intend to let go.
Torn between the allure of oblivion and the agony of reclamation, he must confront the thing that dwells inside?the force that feeds on fear, erodes will, and speaks with his voice. The only way forward is through the core of his own torment. Through blood and memory. Through fire and silence. Through the soul.
Inner Soul is a harrowing psychological fantasy of identity, spiritual warfare, and inner resurrection. It explores the terrifying beauty of what it means to be human?and the cost of forgetting. Told through visceral prose and haunting introspection, this is a story of survival not just of the body, but of the self.
One of the darkest and most psychologically intimate entries in The Caravan Tales, this standalone tale explores the limits of the mind, the endurance of love, and the battle between light and corruption from within.
Autorentext
I was born and raised in California. I was an athlete, a dreamer, had a pinch of acting and tech savviness. I took to writing and poetry in my College days, while all of the above still played as unknown factors of my early life, of what Career path I would take.
Over the course of trying to find my niche, writing had become an enjoyable hobby, and towards the end of my college days, I had started my first book. For years it was a work in progress, but bit by bit, regardless of the good days or bad days, it was a goal that was determined to be completed.
In 2007, that goal would be completed and my first book, "The Far Cry: Legend of the Scepter" was published on paperback. Before and after that publication, I started to create a series of short stories and novellas based in the same realm as The Far Cry.
During those final phases of publishing The Far Cry, my best friend and artist, Rachelle, would kindle a relationship and she became my wife in 2008. Currently, I work in the Structural Design field and I write in my spare time.
