    I’ve fallen through the earth and landed someplace I cannot see. It is endlessly dark, so dark that I cannot tell whether my eyes are open or closed, though I’m fairly certain that they are open, I think. A few experimental blinks later and I can confirm the openness of my eyes. It is cold here, and I appear to be sitting on some kind of rock. My muscles are locked in place, I’m too scared, too confused to move.…

    I could never quite remember what happened during the time I lost my brother. I remembered small images and voices but I could never quite piece together all the events that had happened. No matter how much focus or how much concentration I poured into the thought I never could remember much. Birmingham didn't quite feel like home anymore. Faces seem distorted, the atmosphere was always dark, and ash coated everything like snow.…

    Joseph Campbell, the creator of the hero’s journey, did a lot of research on ancient mythology. He discovered that many heroes travel the same paths to becoming a hero. Campbell decided that heroes come across many challenges that are put into stages and in those stages the hero grows closer to the reward at the end. I am definitely not a hero, but my journey of finding Christ and giving my life to him has absolutely made me into a better person overall. As I look at my journey of finding Christ, I see that it has many similarities to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.…
