Novel: The Laughter Thieves
I’m working on a page dedicated to the presentation of the novel: The Laughter Thieves.
The novel is a multi-genre/literary novel that contains some science, some future tech and what some will call ‘magical realism’, (as some deny Christ and call anything Christian ‘fantasy’ as well as the speech-science connection a myth). It is a contemporary story of destiny; of Christ; of four persons who are not who they thought they were, the world is not what they were taught to believe it is and the consequences of their discovery of the thing that was done as they are genuinely born again in Jesus Christ.
It is also a story of the fall of man, the substance of that fall and a play on why: a story of the two speaks in total reality and the war between them through men. It is also the gospel.
Satan has planted a device that is an artifact, a mind/a speech, a trap, and his own effort at determinism. He waits for his device to be discovered, for what was determined to come to pass: for the elect to laugh with joy in order to steal the method of that joy from them to activate the artifact and give him power to escape the wrath of God by gaining the speech that creates.
Is there such a method?
What is laughter? Where did it come from and where is it going? If it is a tax who collects and what does it pay for? What does it prove, if anything? If it is a word, what does it mean? Why is everyone trying to say it the right way and to say it as much as possible? Where did the system come from that makes laughter a proof of something? Why?

Henry: You ever heard of non-creating speech, Jack?
Jack: One of us is crazy. And its not going to be me.

You are welcome to print it out and read it, (reading it online in blog format can be tedious) but do not sell it , place it in another format, or distribute it. I go back and change a few things here and there from time to time; not basic story elements — just edits for correction or clarity.

Matthew 11:15-19 He that has ears to hear, let him hear. But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions, say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed. For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: –and wisdom has been justified by her children.
