Songs for the Lost

The lonely and the regretful and the downtrodden, the furious and the woeful and the damaged; all facing the futility of living in a world of malice, loss and loneliness; all desperately seeking salvation while forging through the miles of pain marking every step of the path to Paradise.

• A farmer sings a nightly funeral dirge, summoning something from far across the fields
• A cavalry troop finds Heaven or Hell in the hills
• A reporter witnesses the final inexplicable moments of a saucer suicide cult
• A boy and his grandfather hear a message from an un-guessed world beneath their feet
• A boxer faces his greatest nemesis during the strangest of storms
• A platoon is faced with a terrible choice in the jungle
• A garage band and their loyal fans disappear as part of the fulfillment of a prophecy
• An outpost of Roman Legionnaires is terrorized by an ancient evil
• Two alien children forge a unique pact with two Earth children
• A strange door opens in the middle of a burning summer day
• A seasoned detective interrogates a vengeful angel responsible for the haunting of an entire city
• A bounty hunter accepts a mission to hunt another man’s demon
• A husband and wife receive a long-awaited message from the sky
• A broken girl is bestowed a gift from the moon
• A group of troubled misfits search for Heaven in a violent future
• A brother and sister await the greatest fire the world will ever see...
