Sinopsis:
Sometimes dreams don’t work out in life. But sometimes dreams work with us. A life holds little weight without appreciation, and everyone has different means to reach theirs. Some paths become perilous, and some verge right on the edge of doom. This story is about a man named Brant, who is a very optimistic soul but gets caught in a dark place in his life. His legs are strong, and he has the means to travel, but one day, he comes to his limit and finds that death is just a heartbeat away. After an unfortunate decision, he is plummeted into a dark world known as Hades. Still hearing his heart beating, he and a few others try to overcome their odds and fight back. Come along on a journey filled with monsters, friends, and foes. As fugitives, Brant and his newly found friends try to escape their sentence to Tartarus by somehow making it back to the world above. This crazy and foolhardy idea takes them on a journey in which they take together and sometimes alone. Temptation, frustration, and dangerous confrontations come to life in this story of these lonely and desperate souls. Not all endings are good, but with faith, one can light the way. Let’s see how far a light can shine. Even when it dims, it is still useful in a place without it.
Acerca del autor: Just an Iowa boy, my dad calls me. Moved to the Colorado high country at age eighteen and I've been bouncing back and forth ever since. I am thirty five now and am the chef of a restaurant in a small town in northern Iowa. Traveling around the country as a culinarian, I learned a lot about people. It is all the fascinating characters that I had the blessing to meet and come to know, that inspired my story. That and many dreams that came to me while I slept. When I was a little down one day, I took a walk along the Iowa River and gazed upon a tree and suddenly I found a way to tie some of these dreams together. That day (The Descent) was born. Couldn't have thought it up if I hadn't moved to California for a year and had the privilege to bike the coast and be a transient for a bit. I always come back to the heartland though to get my bearings. It takes a little imagination to get by here, but these rolling hills and thick air can be paradise at times. We all deal with depression differently but staying busy and productive is probably the best therapy. They say, "when in hell, keep moving." Just remember to keep knocking on Heavens door. I suffered from the feeling of impending doom for a while. Curiously, I didn't know why. But that adrenaline motored me through some dark places in my life, much like the character in the story, who is also name Brant.
