Title: Forever Comfort

Synopsis: Forever Comfort is a tale of suffering, a depiction of God's failure to respond to the needs of those who suffer the ravages of time and age. And it is a tale of passion, where Satan extends his hand to embrace those who need comfort. It is a tale that challenges the logic of our beliefs and of our understanding. Officers Melanie Michaels and Lee Thornton volunteer to investigate the disappearance of one of their own. What they discover is unimaginable-an engaging campaign between God and His chosen adversary. The war is fought in the hearts of simple men and women whose only need is that of contentment while on earth. What they achieve is, instead, a life of loneliness and overwhelming unhappiness, attracting them to the allure of Lucifer's enlightenment. For failure to lessen human suffering, the once faithful give up their devotion to God for eternal comfort offered by Satan. Forever Comfort is the second of two screenplays and two full-length novels that I have completed.
