SOMEKIND OF HEAVENLY FIRE
By Eric Vincent Riley
Set in Detroit during the historic Northeast blackout of 2003. Our story finds a grandfather tasked with taking care of his grandson after his daughter is incarcerated. Grandad’s situation is thrust into panic when he sees his grandson levitating under a street light succumbing to what he will soon find out is an alien possession. SOME KIND OF HEAVENLY FIRE tells the story of two people dealing with loss in the midst of a chaotic event, both facing forces beyond their comprehension and control. It addresses grief by employing alien abduction as an allegory for the effects of family separation at the hands of the justice system.
