Chapter 1: Nirvana

Tandem to the fenced-off property entrance, cardinals chittered and pranced alongside the palisades. Ty’s blurred vision confused them for splotches of blood, but his hearing manifested their singing as a choir welcoming him a bit further into the unknown. His continued crawl of faith led to this moment, and somehow the most unlikely of Edenites truly journeyed toward their way home. Before pulling himself up and steeping onto the fallen gate, Tyhannon peered over yonder in disbelief at the majestic falls appearing on the opposite end of his journey. No way, I’d come that far he thought. It was the only clear recollection he could muster as the dizzying intensified. From nowhere, dried leaves created a swirling pattern that crossed through him and brought an overwhelming sense of comfort.

Whirling echoes swarmed in Ty’s eardrums and the more forward he trudged, the more intense the reverberation pulsated his brain. Now arriving at the property’s door entrance, his ear ringing turned into a dizzying spell as he struggled upward onto a dry-rotting porch post on all fours. He fell off the side railing and onto the shaded leaves, which were still brimming with morning dew. Ty forced himself back up the two steps to get his weak body off the damp ground and pushed his way in through the splintered makeshift door. The bottom of the blighted wood chipped, a rusty lock disintegrated, and the door creaked open. The dampness of a leaf-covered ground gave way to a dusty floor that served as a pillow as he rested his eyes. With vision blurred, he saw a dark man in overalls coming toward him but passed out from exhaustion before he could get a word out.
