Contemned, is the story of a scorned woman named Genesis and her revelation after she missed the rapture. The revelation of true evil lying in wait to expose itself within each and every one left on earth. Genesis thought she was a Christian and knew she would be saved. She attended church every Sunday. She is a divorced mother of two kids, a teenage boy called BJ and an eight year old daughter called JoJo. Gen is a hard worker with an average social life. Upon her mother's request, she opened her home to her sister and her two younger children. She thought she was handling the stress just fine. She hadn't killed her ex-husband and his Bimbo Barbie's and her estranged, man-hungry, unsocialable, not quite divorced yet sister who was driving her insane daily. She even sung in the choir at her church, but none of that mattered. She still missed the rapture. It was an average day. Genesis was looking forward to the night. She and her girlfriends were going to DJ's Blue Note Caf to listen to the poetic sound of spoken words by the featured spoken word artists. It was the true blues scene, the bass player wearing his dark shades, the sax player, oh my God that man is hot, the drummer, and the artists expressing the inner feelings and thoughts she dare not say. Mix the element with a couple of glasses of White Zinfandel and maybe a shot of Patron or E&J, depending on the mood and it becomes chill time. It wasn't until the next morning when her son rushed into their home asking, screaming that she realizes something is terribly wrong. "Why didn't God take us Mom, why?" BJ kept repeating. The rapture had come and gone and questions are overwhelming her ability to think. What happens next is the only thought on Genesis mind. Her curiosity of why she was not taken haunted her soul. Her mother had been her link to heaven, and now her mother, JoJo and Bri's kids were gone. Follow them through their struggle with self-identity and trials and tribulations to escape from a satanic world. The mark of the beast is all around them as they attempt to travel from Texas to Israel. How will they survive and will they make it?

The following stories are life experiences in the paranormal. Specifically my spirit encounters. Since the age of 5, spirit entities and ghostly apparitions have made it their job to make their presence known to me and other members of my family. These short stories are only a few of many instances where spirit activities have injected themselves into my life. The stories take place in various locations, but the common denominator is always me. The settings for these encounters include my childhood home, my family home, and the family owned cabin by the lake. The stories begin with a sting from a black wasp. That was the first time I died. For me, this event spurred many strange and curious encounters with the spirit world that have not stopped, even today. There are a lot of encounters to tell, but I selected these ten to start-off the series of short story books I plan to follow with. They all are instances and encounters individual unto themselves. So sit back, grab a talisman of your choice and enjoy.
