The Messenger's Quest

In this fictional work, the author seeks to share what he has learned by living a life marked by varied failure and defeat: the ethical beauty of reincarnation. He, having realized that there is life after death – that nada does not await all who die -- seeks to here put his lesson in fiction. His hero/protagonist – having been scuffed up significantly in life – is Kirk, a paralegal who just knows he was meant for something more than doing the unchallenging clerical work of his profession. (As well he should, having long understood that he was the Undercover Messiah.) The story begins during his youth, when an unfortunate occurrence transpires during his youthful search for moral direction. Being only a high school student, it is understandable that he could not realize that his was the moral direction to save the world. After the fall from grace of this unfortunate occurrence, Kirk backs away from the Christian forgiveness all about him that he is not fully realizing. In time, he does.
