Good and evil floated recklessly and relentlessly as options for deeds.

The Reverend Paul David Sinn, a pastor in an independent Christian community, worked diligently in the foreign mission field as a program of witness for not only his faith but also the faith of his family. His wife was murdered, and his daughter kidnapped for a ransom that was paid and accepted but ignored as satisfaction for the terms of her release. Instead, the villains held the young twelve-year-old for sale into prostitution.

The Reverend morphed into a ranting Scorpion intent on revenge cloaked as justice. He killed, maimed, and led a revolution in a foreign land, successfully.

Sanity returned when he saved his daughter, but his guile festered for the innocent collaterals suffering under the malicious tyranny of hooligans.

SCORPION is a tale told by Reverend Paul’s companion, Shah Carlos Calusa, on an Atlantic Ocean beach after a successful life.

The redeeming quality of his faith lifted him from the path to perdition.
