Dilaailah

Barely south of the North Atlantic Ocean is a nation of great wealth and beauty: An archipelago known as Mount Palsa; infamous for its secretive mystique. Moses Carmichael, however, isn’t even a blip on the radar of this place; instead stagnated by a miserable life with his cruel grandmother in Texas. That is until Dad comes into the picture. Vehement about reconnecting with his long-separated son, he offers Moses a stay with him on Dilaailah — one of Mount Palsa’s twelve surrounding islands. Here is where Moses becomes a new man; experiencing a lifestyle like nothing he’s ever imagined. But it’s not all glamour and glitz, this place is secretive for a reason.

The story is currently being published in episodic format. As of the beginning of 2015, there are 3 chronicles. There will be 12 chronicles for each story arc.

Chronicle 1 - "Phoenix"

Published: December 20, 2012

Life with one’s grandmother should be full of kisses, hugs, and wholesome meals. Life for nineteen-year-old Moses is nothing like that. His grandmother is rude, vindictive, and foul toward him in every way. Pushed to the brink of suicide, Moses reaches out to his estranged father of twelve years. Lo and behold, Dad has been living in a tropical paradise. An enigmatic yet coveted island called Dilaailah.

Chronicle 2 - "First Friday Night"

Published: April 29, 2013

He took flight from Texas as Moses, but he lands on Dilaailah as Phoenix. His name, however, is only the first spark of new life in his world. After twelve long years, he is finally reunited with his father in a stroll down memory lane. During a majestic evening concert, Phoenix meets the girl of his dreams. She's just what he wants, but is he good enough for her? Perhaps a couple of shots, break dances, and a tussle on the beach will help him unearth the self-confidence he needs to know the answer to that question. Before the clock strikes twelve, Phoenix's first Friday on Dilaailah will be one he’ll never forget.

Chronicle 3 - "Escapade"

Published: September 14, 2014

Now that the caged bird has found his freedom, he has chosen to express it to its fullest extent. In an attempt to smooth out the wrinkles of Friday night's chaotic conclusion, Phoenix's new friends decide to rectify it by planning a carefree day on the island just for him. Lunch at Herbert's Deli, extreme beach dodgeball, and a splash at the Japanese themed water park pop off without a hitch, and in paradise, the weather for such events is always perfect. Now, if only Phoenix could control or even predict the climate of his own heart - and hormones - the sun would shine a whole lot brighter, and the shadows of his past wouldn't sully so much of his Saturday escapade.
