Chapter 1

Creation

On a quiet moonlit night, a small boy and his mother slept soundly in a bed not their own. The bright moonlight lit half the room through the one window, and a cool night breeze came in through the open window of the run-down country house. The run-down house sat across an unpaved dirt road from a very old black church with a vast graveyard. The boy and his mother were sleeping in that bed, his mother’s sister’s spare bed, because they had been evicted from their home. The boy’s older brother had gone to stay with their father because there was not enough space for the whole family at his aunt’s house, and his mother was pregnant with his future little brother.

Everybody looked spooked; some laughed, some believed, and some disbelieved.

As the years went by, Leon never forgot what he saw. A couple of years later, Leon had grown to a ten-year-old boy. At Christmastime, Leon’s Uncle Lenny and his wife invited Leon to a Christmas program. Leon, Uncle Lenny, Lenny’s wife, and their two children—Leon’s cousins—drove to the Christmas program. See, there was something special about Leon, something his own family ignored or couldn’t see. Even though Leon’s family couldn’t see, the Dark One, Prince of Lies and Sins, could see what Leon was. As the group drove back home from the church after the Christmas program, Leon sat in the back seat, staring at the moon. He was full of the Holy Spirit, secretly talking to God, asking God questions about creation because he was a curious child. All of
