Chasing Waterfalls by LB OliverIntroduction by Sirindi SinghThis is a story about a typical week in Bombay, well, not exactly. Past events intersect between friends and foes who must face their worst fears. The agony imposed from lost loves and fortunes makes me shudder. In one moment, my life turned from brilliant to the despair of purgatory’s escalator, descending slowly into the abyss. Everything I wanted, dreamed, and believed was a quagmire. How close I came to infinity lost forever on the wheel, the Bhavacakra. In those early days, dark forces worked to subvert everything I wanted to change. Sex trafficking, chattel slavery, opium, warlords, murder, assassination, and honey traps moved indifferently along the Malabar Coast, outwardly disparate acts all orchestrated by one.Two families, their progeny, trying to escape a legacy from a long-forgotten war, found love, heartache, anger, and redemption in the maelstrom. In their clash of flesh and spirits, providence gave one the answer and to the other an insatiable lust to control the unimagined. The desire to hold the power of the sun in your hand released the most destructive of evils, a ravenous thirst to rule, to be King.
