The American Sahara

Fifteen-year-old Emer Ahern is standing a foot away from her father when he is struck dead by Zeus’s lightning. Xylon, a hitherto unknown God stands in the bolt’s way and absorbs Zues’s fire on her behalf. Her life is spared, but befores she is returned to her family’s farm in Oklahoma, Xylon whispers stories into her ear. Xylon has a plan to at last be worshiped by men, the fulfillment of which will rest heavily on Emers memory of those stories.

A Pale Blue Reminder

When Xylon arrives in the shtetl of Bedzin, he wears the guise of an old wandering Hasid. He sits on the pile of rocks the children play on during the short hours between being let out of yeshiva and sitting for dinner. It is only eight-year-old Ezra Mintz who’s brave enough to sit down next to the traveler. Over the next three afternoons, Ezra sits and listens to the story of a god who lives in eternal exile. When Xylon is done with the telling, he offers the child a bargain…
