Crossroads Blues

Previously published under the pen name Israfel Sivad. A dark blue love story coloring the crossroads of the world.

Andrew, Charlie, and Michelle have known each other since high school. And it's no secret, at least to Charlie, that Andrew's love for Michelle is the main reason his friend wound up in New York City. But on September 11, 2001, as the Twin Towers' collapse rattles the entire City's very foundations... everything changes.

With friends lost and other friends losing, Andrew retreats into his own world. Falling apart at the seams, he struggles to hold everything together even amidst New York City's own suffering. Come down to the crossroads. Fall down on your knees. Ask the Lord above to have mercy and save you if He'll please.
