The Vision: Torn Between Heaven and Hell Albert Mingo

This is a novel of the twenty-first century, destined to be made into a movie. The storyline is the most original ever written by an author. The story takes place in the quaint farming town of Galt, California. Mary Ellen, the main character, strolls on a bridge and sees two naked people that she recognizes. But something is not right about them-it frightens her. That which she sees, is against all that she had been taught. She believes whole heartedly in the Catholic religion. She turns and runs home throwing herself on the bed sobbing uncontrollably, body trembling and chest hurting. She feels the excruciating pain of her shattered heart. Mary Ellen's best friend is Lainey Cousteau. They've gone to church every Sunday, since they were children. Johnny Butano and Eddie Goldstein have been friends since elementary school. The four fall in love. Most everyone living in Galt, attends the Catholic Church. Father O'Leary and Sister Catherine are well liked by their parishioners. Bad things begin to happen to, and around, Mary Ellen that eventually cause her to act out in an insane manner. Mary Ellen tries to block out the two people from 'the vision', the term she created after seeing them, because she dare not talk about it-no one would believe her. She begins to have nightmares. The two people from 'the vision' always appear and threaten her, blaming her for seeing them. They tell her not to ever say a word or they will kill her. Scared and confused, she begins to display out bursts of craziness. Her friends and parents are confused by her actions. Mary Ellen's nightmares become more intense. The two people from 'the vision' keep threatening to kill her...finally, she threatens to kill them. Mary Ellen unravels the mystery of 'the vision' and discovers what is not right about the two people. The ending is so shocking and disturbing that the author warns you, the reader, to get prepared to read something that will affect you emotionally.
