My name is Brady Passant. I am a single 21 year old male living in San Antonio (Jeez, I feel like I'm filling out an online dating profile here!). I have had the most bizarre childhood of any person I've ever met! (If you think yours can top mine, take a look at my short-story "The Chills of that mid-September Mist"!)

THEME SUMMARY
The summary of the story revolves around a demi-tragic society that chillingly resembles the civilized human race and focuses on the evils of our society (recommended research is tales of Edgar Allan Poe). Such aspects of human nature are superiority, shaped into less general sins as prejudice, discrimination and racism. These qualities are shown not only in the societies that forged our hero (sVento), but also by him. He is a product of the civilization that shunned him and forced him to seek asylum within the deviations of solitude.
STRUCTURE SUMMARY :
As aforesaid, the era of happenings take place on a world devastated by instability and war craft. Most of the races have found that survival lies within the mold of solitude (the details of the races are yet to be discussed but will follow the lines of human nature). The races are all tarnished descendants of one indifferent Eden of race, but were separated and scratched by battle and quarrel, leaving only but a smidgen of prophecy to commute. In this world there lives one race of many, seemingly different from it's neighbors but all in all the same being. Little do they know that a child born so ghastly to their eyes would tumble through prodigy and hatred to be tutored into the prophet that would be the upbringing of their revelation and final judgement. His symbolic qualities will be visible through his just actions and noble spirit. He is the troubled son of the Heavens but is seen as a Demon to his "Superiors". His inevitable damnation by his people is tragic and symbolic in unison:
THE HISTORY
Our character is always shunned as we shun righteousness, and is seen as a laborer to the scapegoat. This is most marked when his accepting mother was killed by his 'father' for teaching truthful prophecy that relates to her son* *(truth is another denounced crime in this story and it is ironic that truth and our character are both one and the same aspect). The blame for this injustice was found in the most likely candidate--the child. He is henceforth subjected to blinding pain that resembles stigmata (he is tortured and has three toes amputated, as well as being blinded in both eyes!) After that, he is dragged almost dead to a dark cliff where he is posted with nails and set for spectating. A dark shadow befalls the cliff as the invisible demons of punishment swiftly and violently pound him into a crater, reaching back to the dark recesses of the cave. But he is not quite dead--One has to wonder what divinity kept him from falling that day. While recovering in a nearby forest, his present vulnerability and non-immune state cause him to soak up the evils of the thicket like a sponge. He does not care anymore and has lost belief but for one cause: hate. He becomes his own enemy within and will not be salvaged until a certain deity of a boy points him that way, slowly, but surely. The adventures present a challenge to both character's morals and will. The prophet makes steps toward his prophecy with the help of this innocent child who possesses more wisdom than he knows.
