A man chases salvation across a broken earth, to The Promised Land as it was written on the postcard. A dystopia masquerading as a utopia-when the hope that once guided him is lost, he must serve the system that destroyed his family to rescue what's left of them."Our Lord, who art eternal, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth, as there is no heaven."In a near-future world of mass migration, Peter and his family cling to whispers of ?o??a: a distant land of abundance, a place where suffering ends and a better life begins.
They risk everything on a journey across fractured borders and unforgiving landscapes, only to be consumed by the system that sold the lie. A dystopian psychological novella with spiritual undertones, this ~35, 000-word work explores displacement, control, and the cost of privilege in a world where faith and brutality are indistinguishable.
