Lotus Petals

Was the January 2018 ballistic false alarm in Hawaii a wake-up call for humanity to evolve as a species? The teenage star-seed Lotus ardently believes it was and that consciousness is shifting to a better reality on a New Earth. Take a multidimensional journey along with three timelines of reality. All three realities intersect at a catalyst event when an official emergency broadcast message is sent by text to alert the people of Hawaii of the imminent threat of an inbound nuclear missile. The multiverse story begins just before the weapon strikes down in Honolulu. Davis, a middle-aged survivalist, begrudgingly allows Lotus to share his tiny concrete bunker with him and his black cat, Merlin. Davis and Lotus make unlikely roommates--one believing that the world is ending, while the other espouses the dawning of a new era of peace. They tolerate each other curiously while the house cat, Merlin, brings magic into the bunker. Will Merlin's magic prevail with a reality of hope, or will Davis' worst fears be realized?
