    ROOM OF DEATH – Here Today and Gone Tomorrow 
    BOOK 1 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY 
    “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen from the house,” the policeman said in an awe-inspiring tone. 
    “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen! Impossible!” Jackson replied. 
    “Yes. You didn’t hear of it?” 
    “Hear of it?” Jackson echoed. “No! I haven’t heard of it whatsoever. I can’t believe it. God, Samuel’s body, was stolen. It sounds impossible to me. Do you have any clue who stole it?” 
    “We don’t know. It was lying in state in the living room at the home, awaiting the undertaker to pick it up.” 
    “Wasn’t the body watched?” 
    “No. Why should it be watched? Who would have supposed for one single minute someone would come and steal the body?” 
    “We don’t have any idea. Tim Collins, the undertaker, arrived this morning and found the body gone. One of the windows was open in the room, and Doctor Clair was the only one with a key.” 
    “Any theories on who might have done something like that?” 
    “The Chief thinks someone hid under the table with a big cloth hanging to the floor draped over it. So, someone hid under the cloth until all was quiet and the door locked and then came out, stole the body, and went out the window.” 
    “I’ve never heard of anything like this in all my life,” exclaimed Jackson.

    The wind of change was in the air, whipping up emotions and pointing the way to perhaps some truth in the God entity. What he once knew as defined fact with hard, emboldened boundaries had morphed into a distant replica barely resembling his life. Had his values changed? No. Had his mission changed? No, but it had expanded into worldwide humanitarian issues, and while broadening his awareness, he felt confused yet simultaneously more alive than ever. What was the purpose or meaning of life? While it was an age-old question, he searched to put the newly added pieces to the puzzle of his life in place.  
    What of Trinity’s announcement bomb? Was he even halfway prepared? And Mays, was it worth investigating? He’d never had a brother other than Marines, but never a brother in the flesh. Had his mission as a civilian with immense ability put him too close to the edge of discovery? Was he that easily defined?  
    With the infiltration of feelings, hurricane forces of emotion rattled him to the core. Everywhere he looked, there were lies. There was no such thing as impossible; that was a lie meant to discourage people too afraid to challenge the claim. No, sir, not him; he wouldn’t give in to the lies of limitations and impossibilities. 
    While his reflection in the mirror was the same, the cocoon encapsulating his heart had weakened. Could he perform his missions while allowing Trinity to stoke his heart? The void once in his soul was filling at rocket speed. Would this indicate he was becoming whole for once in his life?  
    Dive deep into his reality and determine for yourself. Is Babe worth saving?
