I like the idea of taking a piece of history and shifting it to see what would be different; it’s something I do a lot in my fiction.

I base a lot of my work around religious themes, and even though that’s not necessarily what I believe, it’s interesting territory to explore. My writing’s come a long way since The Prophet, but I still like it… one day I might come back and expand on some of the themes.

I think even in times of darkness, there is some light if you know where to look. That’s what the ending represents for me. Some people thought it was too dark, but I’m glad you found it hopeful. And thanks for your feedback. :)

I know you wrote it some time ago. What a creative reimagining of history you have here. The ending is tragic, ironic, and hopeful. There seems to be no escaping that modern Hebrew religion. Original and insightful.
