A Body of Fates

AVAILABLE NOW

On December 31st, 1999 history changed. Precisely at midnight. With the first tick of Saturday January 1st, 2000 the lives of Deb and Dave Becker were forever altered as three generations of time-travelling cause, effect and consequence began to manifest from the past.

The peculiar lives of their predecessors, the epigenetics of a war-torn, alcohol-soaked ancestry, and entangled events from a history of tragic, life-changing Saturdays somehow connect to an ominous, modern-day threat now looming over their young family. Rational explanations fail leading to “what-if” questions of random chance and “if-only” recriminations of fateful choice.

Fearing an inescapable destiny, Dave encounters his own personal Fate, a being he becomes convinced is real. She visits his dreams, predicting the probable outcomes of his life’s choices and sharing malign revelations about his family’s Damocletian dilema. “It’s all beyond your control.”… “Your family’s survival depends on your choices and the possible futures you cause.”… “You are nothing more than a self-aware bag of meat chained to the past.”… “Perhaps you’re hearing voices David?”

Witty, quirky, surreal and tender Evren riffs on the Greek myth of the Fates as an if only story of love, regret and redemption, sex and power, the old animus of science and religion, the endurance of suffering, and the resilience of family.

Fishing with Fredo

Memories crack, cobblestoned moments beneath a heavy footfall, boots climb the hills to find a view of the ocean scape,…
