THE COTTON CANDY MASSACRE: PART TOOTS - Christopher Robertson
The book you are about to read is an account of the events that occurred at the derelict Franklin's Fun Castle. A once wholesome venue for family entertainment - now an abandoned, sullied ruin. Someone made a home there, escaping the chaos and carnage of Bonkin's Bonanza, someone people are searching for. But those who ventured to Franklin's Fun Castle wouldn't find their answers. No redemption, fame, or whimsical merriment. They would find blood-soaked torment brought to life from the twisted nightmares of a child. One few, if any, would wake from. One that came to be known as The Cotton Candy Massacre: Part Toots.
IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2202 - Edward Lee
Sometime between the years of A.D. 81 and A.D. 96, a persecuted Christian called John the Divine went to the Greek island of Patmos and wrote the BOOK OF REVELATION. Theologians and scholars to this day do not know if this author was also St. John the Apostle, personal friend of Jesus Christ. However, detractors and the devout alike all agree that the product of “John’s” pen has demonstrated itself as one of the most mysterious books ever written.
It is a book of wonders and horrors, of ciphers and hints, of truth and the most terrifying confusion. It is a book of riddles, symbols, and metaphors that presage the end of the world. It is a book endlessly discussed and bitterly argued over. However, in its illuminated pages lie one passage which seems wholly literal and free from the need for interpretation. It’s a pinpoint physical description of Heaven. Some twenty-two hundred years later, the world is much different than is it today. It is a stultifying theocracy in which “God” (whichever name His followers choose to give him) is worshiped, praised, and hallowed via incomprehensible technologies and horrifying philosophies. And now, after a few more centuries of analysis, astrophysicists and monumental cryptographic computers have deciphered all of the clues that John the Divine infused into his Book: not just the appearance of Heaven but also its exact location.In the year A.D 2202, we send a ship to go there…
