These are previous posts that have been dusted off, updated, and
freshly presented to an audience that’s never seen them. These limited posts
originate from the companion blogs I’ve written for the first two installments
of the Eternal Curse Series (40 Days and Nights of Eternal Curse & EC:
Battleground a Survival Guide).
*******************************************************************************************
Serving
as the source of wisdom and understanding, Abraham is the paternal glue that
holds together the unconventional family that the characters of my book
eventually grow into. While not as magical or powerful as an oracle, but just
as important to helping a hero find his way, Abraham guides the main characters
of the story to their ultimate fates.
When
Abraham is first introduced into the story, the reader sees him as a wheelchair
bound elderly man with white hair around his baling head. He’s a very lovable
character who seems to be the most normal and well-adjusted of them all, even
though he has every reason not to be.
Throughout
the story, you learn of the many obstacles and struggles Abraham has overcome
to finally reach a place of peace, before coming to terms with his inevitable
death. Don’t worry, I’m not giving too much away…I mean seriously. Did you stop
watching Episode IV after Obi-Wan died? No, I don’t think so. It was probably
the best out the entire Star War Series, and the wise old man comes in late and
dies before it ends…It was awesome.
Abraham
is a true father figure to Giovanni and Mira and the reader. He’s a constant
source of financial provision, he enjoys cooking and always offers up the best
comfort food, and he’s always available and quick with words of wisdom. While
Mira helps Giovanni come to terms with the non-human aspects of his identity,
it is Abraham, who teaches him to embrace whatever amount of humanity he has
within him.
