Apostate

A SCREENPLAY

About 19,700 words

"Apostate" follows Lily, a fourteen year old who finds herself at the center of something ancient and terrible as several grueling crimes upset the order of her small town. Hallucinations come quickly, followed by a creature of shadow, begging her to "Free god."

All too quickly, things spiral out of control, and Lily's town is besieged with madness, grotesque creatures, and a roaming cult determined to make their way to the church, where something lies deep below the earth, waiting to be called forth by unlikely apostles.

"Apostate" is one part of a massive project, where each story involved is both standalone and connected, and will culminate into a series of novels currently in the works. With no constraints in regards to genre or format, each story is given the freedom to express itself fully, whether it be as a fantasy, science fiction or literary piece, or even as a horror screenplay.
