Sinai: a novella

By David Gallagher

A vibrant life by night.
A colorless life by day.
What secrets are kept at Sinai?

Sealed in a biospheric dome that protects them from the deadly surface world live one hundred humans and their twelve Spirit guardians. Most nights, in has vivid dreams of adventure and mystery. Most days, the drudgery of a cyclical life drains the color from the other inhabitants. Yet some things are not as the Spirits say.

ASLEEP
I am a bird, wheeling through the skies and creating a world of forests and clouds. I am an otter, splashing in the river and playing joyously until I grow old and brittle. I am a fox, desperately protecting my kin from the crowds who would destroy us. But what are these memories of a life I never lived?

AWAKE
I keep my dreams hidden away; I must never speak of them. I try to live as obediently as I can, following every ritual and requirement. I long so deeply to grow closer to my God and to see the face of the Creator. Yet with every prayer, the Spirits give me a non-answer and turn me away from the truth I seek. What are they hiding?

For fans of Lois Lowry's The Giver and the imaginative works of Frank Herbert comes the second installment of David Gallagher's Dominion of Dreams series.
