A 15,000-word biblical size epic in which a small goatherd is claimed, collared and shrunk by the angels who fell on Mount Hermon, then handed to a fifty-foot giant as tribute.

The story

Before the Flood, two hundred lights fell on Mount Hermon and the Sons of Heaven walked among us. The scribes say they came for our daughters. They lie.

Elam is a goatherd at the foot of Hermon, small in every way that matters and ashamed of it. When the Watchers descend he is claimed, collared and shrunk by Shemihazah himself, and ten summers later he is handed to the angel’s giant son Ohyah as tribute. In the halls of the Nephilim he becomes worshipper, plaything and witness, as the giants begin to dream of the waters that will drown them.

Written as Elam’s own testament, sealed in a clay jar as the Flood rises, it’s a story of giant worship, pocket play and surrender, told in the language of ancient scripture.

From the story

The scribes will tell you they came for our daughters. They lie. I know, because I am one of the ones they came for.

I write this by the light of a lamp that will not last the night, in a cave high on the shoulder of Hermon, with the rain hammering the mountain like the fists of a thousand giants. The water is already lapping at the mouth of the cave. By morning there will be no cave, and no mountain, and no me. But there will be this scroll, sealed in clay, and in it the truth of what they were. What he was. What I was in his hand.

My name is Elam. When the stars fell I was a goatherd of twenty-two summers, and I was very small long before anyone made me so.
