Infos

Seldom does a story of severe mental illness and clinical depression turn out happy, but Don’s does! His tale of youthful daring, heartbreak and spirituality is a rollercoaster of suspense and tragedy as you watch him slide ever deeper and deeper into darkness. Close personal relationships turn from him, as if they too might be pulled under. Everyone that is, except a father he barely knew.

After experiencing an amazing physical healing from God earlier in life, a reckless sporting dare drags young Don crashing over a rocky cliff—into a very real, and seemingly inescapable dungeon of despair. The resulting injuries bring a new struggle of constant pain with sinister voices from hell chanting, “Kill yourself! End the pain!” As Don slowly loses this battle, his life enters a chapter so dark you will wonder why he didn’t pull the trigger of his gun.

Day after day, unable to work his job, Don wanders listlessly through town, head down and mumbling to the demons. Often lost, he is always alone, until his father becomes the proverbial angel that buys him groceries, and keeps directing him back to his home—a house that no longer feels safe.

Unable to cope with even climbing the stairs in his home to his bedroom, Don lays on the living room floor nightly. Rocking himself back-and-forth in despair, he is tormented by voices in his mind, taunting him with hell’s remedy. “Die, die, die.” But Don’s faith in God, and the reminder that he had been healed before, draw him back to his church and to the relentless prayers of God’s faithful… who wouldn’t listen to the devil’s demands.
