Epiphalogue
The eerie saw playing music continued to sound after Chief Bromden walked off into the distance and to his freedom. Adam read the credits over the big Indian’s running form but didn’t register what he saw. They were alphabetical with Michael Berryman portraying Ellis down past Scatman Crothers in the role of Turkle. It was perfect closure for the past year where he was fractured, broken and in pieces. Nitzche’s haunting song Medication Valse moved Adam to tears, and in the darkness of the rest of the closing credits, he let them stream down his face. Beside him Didier breathed lightly, and asleep, with his head tilted back on the edge of his seat. Adam was glad not to have to explain himself.
He just sat in the darkness while the half empty theater emptied completely and let his life sink in. He didn’t think on the realities inherent with being the personification of evil’s son, he only thought on what made his life worth living. It was all on the screen, in the past hour and a half, and change. Even in the nice people who brought him here.
He wanted to live his life without caring for an explanation of anything. That was for philosophers and theologians, and he was neither. He would find meaning in the transcendent, the unexplainable. He would find it while others lived as they wished, whether it was to fall asleep or to leave looking to find somebody and miss the experience that still held him.
Mad Gods
Book One: Predatory Ethics
The Antichrist lives. He is wanted dead or alive by Satanists, the Catholic Church and the Dark Nobility.
Kostadino must save him or let the world turn into hell on earth.
What I liked about Mad Gods was that the author started the reader out on a journey right from the onset of the book—the plot was well written, easy to understand, and thought provoking.
Cheryl Bradshaw
Mad Gods takes its reader on a spellbinding journey that spans different continents and time periods. The author seamlessly weaves an intricate plot that connects an array of fascinating characters that propel the momentum of this wonderfully ambitious narrative.

About Athanasios
Athanasios has been interested in religion & faith since childhood. This led to studying a bewildering variety of beliefs from pagan, wicca, judaism, christianity, islam, to hindu, buddhism, shinto, luciferianism & much more.
The interest made its own momentum & brought Mad Gods. His other interests include most entertainment, from film, to television & books.
He won’t try video games for the same reason he doesn’t keep his favourite booze in the house; he would do nothing else.
There was a short time that he was into World of Warcraft but that became the obsession he knew it would be. He had to leave it for a deeper & more engrossing one: Predatory Ethics with Mad Gods & Commitment.
His longtime work in the graphics field has given him the facility to do his own covers. He also creates custom covers for other indie authors @: www.mad-gods.com/coverHIRE.html
