"whose fault?
Whose but his own? ingrate, he had of mee
All he could have; I made him just and right,
Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall."
Milton, Paradise Lost
Is the ability to self-determine the essence of being human, or, is choice an illusion at worst, elusive at best? “Choose” is a set of vignettes or compacted narratives that have driven Western cultural, political, and social dominance, for self and others, for centuries. “Nacache,” “The Meat Grinder,” “Samael: Fisher of Men,” and “Obedience” reflect the traditional pseudo-choices of Western Christianity juxtaposed to an alternative vision. “Draco: I Will Fear No Evil” offers a parallel universe of freedom, accessible to anyone willing to risk a ride who destination is exhilarating, which has wildly creative potential, yet is always uncertain.
