Dreams Of The Red Phoenix (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
He had always thought of himself as a man of simple pleasures, and one of them was to be out-of-doors on a fine summer morning like this one. To breathe in crisp mountain air that reminded him of his boyhood in New Hampshire, though little else about this rugged setting was the same. The cedar trees here were spindlier, the scrub brush more spiked, the rocks more jagged than those in the mountains of his youth. Even when he had crossed this range in North China as a healthy man, he had felt it blanket his spirit with barrenness and gloom. At dangerous bends in the trail, the Chinese had placed simple altars to their ancestors and gods. Over his five years of expeditions to the outlying churches, Caleb had come to understand that stopping to pray in any fashion was entirely the right idea. Otherwise the setting felt altogether too godless and the poor traveler abandoned to his fate. Yet the sky overhead now on this summer morning struck him as promising.
