The Place That Cannot Be
When God reveals his existence to the world, Gregory decides to take him to court on behalf of all crimes against humanity. But how do you take the creator of the universe to court?
Gregory hasn't quite figured it all out yet. All he knows is that his daughter was brutally tortured and murdered, and he blames God for allowing it. Obsessed now with avenging his daughter's death against the all-powerful, all-knowing, and supposedly all-loving being, he kills himself to meet with God.
Armed with a suitcase containing every instance of pain that humanity has ever endured, from the smallest paper cut to the most horrible methods of torture imaginable, Gregory hopes to prove to all of mankind, the judges of this trial, that God could have created a far better, perhaps even perfect, universe, and that it was his obligation to do so.
But Gregory soon finds himself dealing with a lot more than he bargained for, and in a position no human has ever found themselves in.

Emory Wolfe
3 books19 followersBest known for dark, gritty satire, Emory attempts to show the dark side in all of us. Hilariously horrible, in all aspects, sometimes even too disturbing for some, Emory does not write for the weak or the faint of heart. Brutally honest and minimalist, he is writing is about people and the situations that unite us.
When not writing, he is a content creator, binging on true-crime & mystery, or napping with his cat.

This tale, by the very talented Emory Wolfe, examines what it means to be God in such a human way. A convoluted narrative that blends elements of religion, trial by the masses, and time travel, The Place That Cannot Be excels in questioning the efficacy of an all powerful creator being while also balancing the reality that humanity is far from perfect and likely could not create a better world than the one we currently reside in. Wolfe pulls absolutely no punches, holding a mirror up to reality and forcing the reader to examine its banal horrors in a clinical way. This book is bleak and miserable and still oh so beautiful.
