A Man Named Good

Prologue

In the early stages of humanity the Earth was occupied by many creatures of the land, sea and air. Among these creatures few rose the ranks to claim themselves intelligent and of those few only one grew to manipulate the environment around them to such a degree that the Earth herself didn’t recognize her surface. They went about creating towns, villages, cities and other types of communities, where they lived out their lives. These beings called themselves “Humans”. Humans like the Earth, were composed of a variety of strains. Some being isolated communicated differently then others, allowing a world of words to come into existence.

In “A Man Named Good” we follow the life of a human whose name becomes a concept in the future, which is used to describe an individual’s behavior, character or actions, among many other attributes of an individual. The main character lives in a small village that is surrounded by trees and bushes of the wilderness, isolated from most of the world he lived a life full of curiosity, adventure and wonder. Until one day a stranger arrives at the village and by presence alone introduces a new and different way of living. Is the stranger the reason for the mistranslation of actions and words that we accept today as the norm? Let us take a moment to see where the word “Good” has actually come from it may surprise you.
