The Sanctuary Of Slumber

By Ashley Redden

This is not a happy tale. Be forewarned, if you want a happy ending, do not read; if you are looking for a feel-good story, pass this one up; if you seek a heart warming tale, move along move along, there is nothing here for you to see. This is a tale of woe, unadulterated, unwavering anguish. Enter at your own risk and do not forget gentle reader; you have been warned. If anyone ever tells you that what you read does not affect the way that you think, they are dead wrong. The story that lies before you is proof positive of that. I was reading "The Road" when I wrote this. Usually, the stories that I write have a happy ending, at least somewhere in the journey through the pages, but not this one. This is a dark tale born from the despair that "The Road" raised in my soul during the reading of that epic, yet horrid tale. I hope that those brave enough to read this tale will at least appreciate the shadow of utter despair and misery that I fed into this story. Enjoy or not, read or not, but warned you have been. I humbly pass my creation into your capable hands, open or closed, the choice is yours.

I love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, cutting slabs from stones and making cabochons, gaming and helping people. I am very happily married to a wonderful woman who, for some unknown reason, puts up with most of my hi-jinks. We have two daughters, a dog, Chubby which is my avatar, and Boo, our black and white Main Coon cat, all of which are quite spoiled thank you very much! I am thinking of taking up the violin soon, but who knows, may never happen. There are always new things to learn in this big wide world.

The Sanctuary of Slumber

Irony? A comedy of errors? Some stupid satirical play? All or none? This is my life now in vivid color.

The world has ended, no longer a worry, but now an absolute fact. Done. Finished. That proverbial fat lady has been
