The Crossing

ByGraham Parks

It is the year 2031, and 12 year old Able Worthy has made a journey that will change his life forever - a journey to the Dark Side. Born in Segregation, a suburb in the city of Bigotdom, Able Worthy runs away from home after being enticed by the bright lights of the fairground that shimmer across the stagnant, toxic River Thames, which he has only ever seen from his bedroom window. Once across the divide that separates light from the darkness, Able unwittingly indulges in each of the seven deadly sins. He meets a young girl, Eve Hope, with whom he falls in love but tragedy strikes when they run into trouble with Cain Sins and his gang. Able's fantastical journey is one of courage and adventure, and after intimate conversations with the seven prophets, it also proves to be one of self-discovery. The Crossing is a humorous, provocative story that touches upon many of the issues that confront us today. It may even challenge you to question your own fundamental beliefs about life, religion and ultimately, death.
