A Lesser God: Reason Else Demise

GENRE: Historical Fiction
(Religious)

BLURB:
As a young man, Dion Athamas was spiritually summoned to rapture
then tenured god status. He had been endowed with all the benedictions to
achieve sacredness: a devout flock, the power to heal and a covet for control.
He also held a deep desire and ability to influence justice and universal
liberty. The setting: the fictional town of Forgedmont, Mississippi, in the
1950s. Against great opposition he strived to become a new-age god; the earth
was his oracle. He found faith-based conviction to be lacking in reason and
truth. He chose to maintain an instinctive path to holiness. Regrettably for
him and his followers, there were a great many roadblocks. He was forced to
face off against the church, community, prejudice, family and scheming dreams
influenced by fallacious spirits, all set forth to hamper his ascension to
divinity.

EXCERPTS
My name is Dion Athamas, and I’m from the little the town of
Forgedmont, Mississippi, U.S.A. Population 2,874. Should you be interested, I
have a story to share with you. It’s my story, though tragic, I am quite
willing to share it. I think it best you understand that this tale all began
with a telling dream.
One night as I slept, I awoke to hear my name being softly
spoken by a masculine voice I didn’t recognize. I sat up in bed and scanned the
dark void, trying to establish the source of the voice. Without question, I
felt an unnatural presence looming somewhere within the walls of my bedroom. I
gradually began to recognize that the manifestation was speaking to me as if I
were an acquaintance. His manner was quite affable as he appealed to me to stay
calm and listen attentively to his message. He requested that I focus my vision
straight ahead into the darkness and then close my eyes. When he gave the
signal, I needed to slowly reopen my eyes to witness him visually. The signal
was perceptually vague, but I received it. When I opened my eyes, I knew
someone was sharing my room with me, but I had no idea who. I couldn’t identify
the barely-perceptible image of a human form floating buoyantly at the foot of
my bed. Then suddenly he was gone as quickly and enigmatically as he’d arrived.
