SORROWS BRIDGE

by Mariev Finnegan

Overview

SORROWS BRIDGE: A story of psychological horror based on true events.Let me warn you. Except for small details, every horrible incident recounted in Sorrows Bridge is true!
The names have been changed to protect the guilty and some incidences combined for dramatic effect.
Twenty years ago, at the height of a lightning storm, a teenager, Justin, dove from the apex of Sorrows Bridge, a sure suicide.
His mother, Grandma, the matriarch of the Erie tribe, who "ain't scared of nothin,'" takes her grandkids on a raft down the Erie canal. Her plan is to explode Justin's ashes in a fireworks display from Sorrows Bridge, across from the prison, where, at midnight, the condemned man, Tommy Price, will be electrocuted. He is the same age as Justin when he committed suicide.
Her grandson, Justy, (Named after Justin)  age 14, is her copilot. The others are pesky babies who have unique talents for survival in response to their dysfunctional tribe. When their raft comes close to a collision with a bizarre vessel, tension mounts between the teenager and Grandma. Seems she delights in terrifying the little ones. And Justy is very much afraid.
The tribe gathers around a campfire, where the line between reality and magic becomes as unreal as the line between life and death, as Grandma recounts true horror stories handed down through the generations.

The electrical storm intensifies as midnight approaches. Grandma forces Justy to tell his horror story:
What creates a child who kills other children? Or themselves? The lack of magic, Grandma decides. The supernatural, beyond even the laws of nature, is suppressed by society. Justin killed himself because he couldn't make life conform to natural laws; tonight the law was killing Tommy Price, the condemned man.
Grandma keeps to herself the nagging doubt that maybe hell awaits Tommy. And Justin awaits him.
Justy doesn't want to think that maybe he is Justin, reincarnated: That would mean that neither he, or the condemned man, will ever find eternal peace. And that is the supreme horror: We are eternal. There is no way out: Justy is overwhelmed by the dreadful realization that neither suicide, or the electric chair, ends consciousness.
While Grandma examines such issues as anarchy, capital punishment, spirituality, the holographic universe and suicide, the final horror story that frames the others... and Justy has to tell it... has to do with facing the ultimate horror: There is only one thing to fear.
And that is sorrow.

About the Author

Mariev Finnegan, Matriarch of the Erie tribe, connects all Erie. And everyone is Erie. Aware of her spiritual nature, she is in mind-to-mind contact with others who are aware. Erie mental structuring is not in linear form, but rather holographic: each piece contains the whole. Rather than one leader, the Erie act together through dynamic, cooperative processes of self-organization that demonstrates the possibilities of biological systems organizing on spiritual principles. The subjective experience of that entanglement is what we call mystical experience, or in general: Erie.
The Erie Is Coming: It is beginning: A transformation in our consciousness as we awake to the realization that humankind's purpose is to evolve into a cosmic identity. Humankind has developed an additional dimension of consciousness: extrasensory. Call it Erie.
Simultaneously, in several widely separated locations around the world, in a transformation of human consciousness, a relatively small but rapidly growing percentage of humankind is gathering impetus towards experiencing within themselves the breakup of the old egoic mind patterns and the emergence of a new dimension of consciousness: ERIE, a cosmic awareness, an emergence of global consciousness or a paradigm shift, for lack of a better word, towards a different way of thinking in how we sense and approach life, without intellectual description, in which we are in touch with something we knew, but didn't know we knew. Consciousness come from the greater consciousness, evolving to a higher being. From one way of Being to another completely different way of Being.
Erie.
With each Erie who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows, and it becomes easier for others. World-wide, those with expanded awareness are organizing on a higher plane until the entire sphere has been affected! Global mind-to-mind interactions have entered a phase of super-exponential growth. resulting in a transformation of humama kind to a far higher spirituality. The linking of minds, like an orgasm, has reached a critical mass. As a collective, we are about to expERIEnce a profound shift in consciousness. resulting in a transformation to a far higher awareness. Erie.
