The Transition Hole

By JT WULF

Eternity, an enigmatic and boundless concept that possesses the power to twist fate and defy human understanding, weighs heavily upon the fragile fabric of existence. It lingers on the outskirts of our consciousness like a shadowy specter, whispering secrets too profound for mere mortal comprehension. True destiny is entwined within its ethereal embrace, as it weaves intricate webs of causality that extend far beyond our limited perception. 

 

Yet, in this metaphysical realm where time knows no bounds, Karma takes what is owned with relentless precision. It silently waits in the wings of eternity, poised to exact its retribution upon those who dare to cheat or deceive others for personal gain. Like an invisible hand guided by justice's unyielding gaze, karma patiently bides its time until the opportune moment presents itself—when divinely orchestrated circumstances align flawlessly. And when that moment arrives no soul can escape their reckoning; they shall bear witness as what was once clandestine emerges into the light with undeniable forcefulness—an irrevocable reminder that eternity does not discriminate—it unfolds without mercy nor respite—a testament to life's inherent balance between action and consequence in "The Transition Hole."

EPISODE 1

The Brake Salesman

Many legends have been told of men that have cast their own image into mirrors of their past. Some good and some evil. One such legend is about a 48-year-old brake salesman from Twinfield Oregon. His name? Taylor Van Whitsby. Although a hard worker Taylor had only two weaknesses. A taste for the finest whiskey and an arrogance only he could bear. Both would eventually become their own image in the mirror of Taylor’s past.

The town of Appleton, Oregon, is a small town with a population under two thousand. Between the timber and agriculture, life in the town could be slow and quiet, almost like a graveyard, but on any other day it might as well not exist. The only reason people knew it was there for one terrible night when an unspeakable crime happened that made nationwide news. Suddenly the town became known, but not for something good. It became known as the place where a horrible series of events started to unfold.

Appleton was a quaint little town that was home to a small population of families. The streets were lined with towering oak trees, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. Most of the houses were made up of older couples who had retired from work and now spent their days tending to their gardens or playing bridge at the local community center. There were also younger adults who recently bought their first home and were still putting in long hours at their jobs before moving onto parenthood, and parents who were helping their children with college applications, the stress etched into every line of their faces. While buying a home might be the biggest financial decision they make, it is just one of many choices that these people will have to make as their lives progress. The private school for kids preparing for college was opulent, with brick walls and immaculate lawns that stretched out in every direction. The other school was public, meant for those who would go on to obtain trades or join the military. It looked more modest than its counterpart but still had its own charm.

Being situated almost fifty miles from what would be considered a larger urban area, Appleton was somewhat secluded from the rest of the world. Most kids in the town participate in organized sports at some point, but by junior year high school they generally don't have much time for it because they are busy with extracurricular activities and other social pursuits. This means parents have to volunteer their time to coach teams and hold training sessions for them as well as any
