The geneses of stories are as infinite as the chambers of the
heart. Some come from the light, others from the shadows, and when
from the shadows, the teller is exposed--stripped naked and
vulnerable before the eyes of the reader. A fair question for the
teller: Why expose yourself? The only answer that I know of is that
a purging is sought, though the cruel end is that it will never be
fully attained.
For the small Midwestern town of California, Missouri, 1968
heralded another year when parents stared in dread at television
screens sending images of soldiers mangled in Vietnam. Ernie and
Christa Bates performed their daily toils, but never far from their
thoughts was an only son named Aaron. The young man shared a strong
Christian faith with his mother, and she prayed for him fervently,
knowing that his prayers too were directed to God. But Ernie did
not share their faith, could only invoke a spirit world that he
knew existed, but did not trust. And while his son fought on soil
half a world away, Ernie fought a grim battle in a world that he
could not see.
