Breaking Bad - The Fall Of Heisenberg (Season 5.2)
Normally, this blog-site is just for my writing. Butttttttttttt, I do love making music and I cooked this composition up the other day and I'm absolutely in love with it. This turned out to be perfect for the darkness and edginess of Breaking Bad (Especially here lately). Check it out and let me know what you think....

*Newly* Update Query
Well, I feel as I have touched this thing up at least 44 times by now, but still polishing it up.
Author Jane Kindred recently critiqued my query and helped me fix up some things. Let me know what YOU think? All feedback is appreciated. Enjoy.

Dear
__________,
Forget Christianity. As a matter of fact, forget every religion that humans believe in. There is only one God per universe, and ours can't keep up with the ever-increasing population rate, while still attempting to manage the evil that plagues our world. He has created a system that can, or so he thought.
In 2006, an armed robbery critically injures Clayton and takes the life of his six-year-old brother, Joey. Clayton struggles to find meaning in life while dealing with the loss of his brother and absence of a father, whom he lost earlier to cancer. He is a self-proclaimed agnostic but desperately seeks closure regarding his little brother’s ill-timed death.
Meanwhile, Joey’s soul begins the intricate process of reincarnation that is well hidden from today’s society. Our God has created a multi-layered system that can automatically recycle souls, erase their previous life, and assign a new host and destination for their next life on Earth.
Clayton, only eighteen years old, succumbs to the early stages of depression. He turns to drugs and alcohol for immediate escape but constantly longs for the bond his family once had. Only after discovering signs from a hidden afterlife, he realizes the family he yearns for can be recreated with his girlfriend, Brittney.
God’s system is supposedly impeccable, but an erratic malfunction occurs in Purgatory (where the system is located). Joey’s soul is accidentally sent into the body of Clayton’s newborn son. This mistake will affect the entire world and only Clayton has the power to stop it, even if he doesn’t know it yet.
PURGATORY is a found-footage novel about two worlds secretly coexisting as one, and one brother’s determination to finally solve life’s most sought-out question – what really happens after we die? I would love to send you my Adult/Sci-Fi manuscript, PURGATORY, which is complete at 86,000 words. PURGATORY is a standalone novel with series potential (Purgatory, Inferno, and Paradise).
Sincerely,

The First 250 -
“Joey! Get your
fucking ass over here right now!”
Our mother, Sharon, screamed at my attention deficit disordered, six
year old brother. “Don’t make me tell
you again.”
It was Black Friday at Greenwood Park Mall and to say it was
a bit over-crowded was an understatement.
Everyone has packed together like a cheap can of sardines, scavenging
the mall for any type of sale or discount.
Our mother, who is never afraid to speak her mind, was scared she was
going to lose Joey again, just like she did two years ago at the State Fair. Memories of that chaotic scene played out in
her head as she impatiently waited for Joey to return to her clammy, terrifying
grip.
“Joey-- I am going to count to three. If you are not next to me, I am going to
spank your ass so hard–you won’t be able to sit on Santa’s lap until next year!”
she yelled towards his direction.
Shocked shoppers, upset by our mother’s filthy mouth, stare
off in disgust. But Sharon’s cold eyes
over-powered their judging attitudes, like an un-even battle in
tug-of-war. By now, Joey knew she was
not playing. This was exactly what happened
to him when she finally found him two years ago. He got his ass beat, welted, right in
front of everyone. However, Joey simply
couldn’t help it. The countless amounts
of Christmas lights and holiday decor had caught his attention a little bit better
than the lotions and candles our mom was shopping for at Bath and Body Works.
