Front Cover
Dramatic Publishing, 2005 - Drama - 38 pages
Arthur Franklin is dangerously depressed. His boss has just fired him, his wife is filing for divorce. Emotionally disoriented, he wanders into an art gallery only to be overwhelmed by "The Seduction of Chaos," a painting of hypnotic intensity. He is joined by Jackie, a good-hearted gallery guard eager for someone to talk with. Kristina Lambrisi, the painting's unstable creator, appears. When she tells Arthur that it depicts her horror as a young child in having witnessed the murder of her parents at the hands of a knife-wielding fanatic and commands him to destroy the painting, the three undergo an emotional crisis that changes them forever.
