Autumnal Faust
Sketches of Masked Illumination
A novel

Jonathan Ash is a man seeking karmic retribution, for what he believes has been done to him; one painful lifetime after another. In truth, it was his own decision which led to endless incarnations of suffering and pain; having listened to the collective fear of the fairer sex; steering him away from God and leading him down a path of debauchery and destruction, which landed him face-to-face with de Sade.

Having nothing to lose, he readily signed his soul away; so as to glimpse the names upon the list; attain knowledge that would allow him to traverse all corners of the world; power and skills to locate and manipulate those whose names he found recorded; their destruction the only means to atonement.

After endless lifetimes, he rejoices in a mission accomplished; believing to have successfully evened the score, in having located and destroyed the heart and soul of the last name upon the list. He breathes a sigh of relief, knowing that at last, peace is at hand.

However, if he had investigated a little further and not been so quick to snatch the recorded list, he would have seen that last name listed elsewhere; hidden on the pages between every line; elegantly inscribed on the cover and spine; the author of endless volumes; writing and re-writing the book of his life.
