Steven Simms short story, explores the moments of impending death when his character Saul, tries to take his own life. Saul enters his own special purgatory, and reviews his past life. The book is intended as a supplement to the album "Precious Empires" by Scottish Band, Roads To Damascus, in which Steven is lead vocalist and songwriter, alongside Calum Jamieson. Steven has also performed it as a spoken word and audio book. The story as with the album "Precious Albums" looks at the importance we place on the materialistic and superficial and asks the question "Why are we here?". Steven is not religious in the conventional sense, but certainly believes in a smile behind the Universe. At the end of the story there is a chance to review your own life and develop. Don't take it to seriously though, and enjoy the drama of this fictional, concept piece, whilst listening to the album when it is released in late 2014. www.roadstodamascus.co.uk
