I had that dream again last night, the one with the little girl. Only this time her dress was red; bright red, crimson red, blood red.
As usual, she was standing on a barren strip of ground. Above her, suspended impossibly in mid-air, was that same round, large clock with its white face and its two startlingly black hands. In the dream I tried as hard as I could to see the time on the clock, but as always I was not able to do so. Then, just as the little girl's dark eyes bored directly into mine, I woke up in a cold sweat.
Thus begins the tale of Rages of the Night, a metaphysical/visionary novella. The story is that of a lone solider who, when critically wounded in the chest during a fierce battle, finds himself in a sort of purgatory between life and death, only he doesn't know it.
In his sudden and suspended state that begins in that fleeing instant of imposed twilight when he feels himself dying, he remains the same inside,. So that his external reality and challenges are all just as before. He is in the same war torn country, still fighting and fleeing the same enemy.
The only difference is the supernatural little girl who befriends him; a ragged and starving enemy child who leads him through the many dangers and rages of this odd and difficult journey, who leads him through his personal rages of the night, who leads him safely at last through this harsh purgatory. Until, finally, with her help, he escapes a hell of his own making and comes away with a deeper understanding of sacrifice, of love, of the need and the glory of peace.
