Coming Soon: Escape from Enoch
An antediluvian horror tale
In those days, the line of Seth made a golden throne and a jeweled crown. These they offered to Enosh, the firstborn of Seth, first man born beyond the light of the Garden. But he was wise, and refused them, even though he was also proud, thinking himself by right the king of men. “I will go forth into the desert and seek the One Above’s counsel for six days and six nights. And if I receive a sign, I will return as your king on the seventh day. But if I do not, I will return on the seventh day and choose one who is worthy to rule, and ye shall give him the crown.”
So he went forth alone, out of the city into the desert, and there Caine found him. And Caine ensnared Enosh with words and with magics, and bound him, and drew him down into the darkness, and gave unto him the name Enoch. Enoch returned unto the city with Caine, and taking the crown, he placed it upon Caine’s head. And some among the wise were afraid, and others held back their arms, for the mark of the One Above lay upon Caine, the black sun. But many among the fools bowed down before Caine and called him a god and freely gave to him their faith, as should not have been.
In the darkness of the First City, two young slaves, empowered above the miserable lot of the Children of Seth, chase the golden dream of freedom…
