Beastly Roar, by Mark Tulin
19/7/2019

Zeke Lomas has the malicious spirit of a dybbuk, culled from the hot, burning coals of anger. He exists in a smoldering cauldron, speaks softly most of the time, occasionally coming across as gentle and caring, but when his path is crossed, he invokes biblical stories of vengeance, venting his pent-up ferocity with a beastly roar.

Zeke justifies his blustery fury. He says that so and so was corrupt or immoral, believing that he’s doing society a service, balancing the scales of justice. Zeke doesn’t realize that without pause and reflection, he’ll be the demon of his own design.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
