Rob is a lonely man living in his little home of his, and on one night of horrible and wet weather, a little boy with a torn about heart and soul is on his doorstep, trying to find acceptance. Rob is pushed through in flashbacks of his past and reminded of when he once had gone through the same pain and misery!
For young Bill, the one time child mathematical prodigy, life is good--very, very good. After graduation from one of the finest universities in the world, he and three of his fellow prodigies are hired by a private business consortium. The consortium consists of powerful individuals that are seeking an advantage in the world of business. What they are asking Bill and his friends to do is to create a machine that will clearly give them such an advantage, and in return have been promised riches and pleasures beyond any of their imaginations.
But one day, Bill, on a rest and relaxation period, receives a message from his three friends. The message asks him for an answer to a question by which the machine they successfully constructed can be tested for reliability. The question, however, is one that Bill finds annoying. It is a question for which he knows there is no truthful answer, and worse, goes well beyond the nature of science. The question also begins to wear on his conscious, and before long, something begins to make sour the sweet, sweet life he lives.
What that question is and how Bill arrives at the answer just might be found at The Happy Haven.
I know so little of what I should, I know so little that needs to be understood
But one thing I know and this much is true, God He hath made both me and you.
We struggle along life's busy throngs, we struggle along, with hope and a song
I know so little of what needs to be understood, I know so little of the things I should
But this much I know, yes this much is true, I'll make it through life, if I keep God in view
If I had listened, I wouldn't be laying in this hospital bed.
If I wasn't snooping around, I wouldn't have gotten shot in the arm.
If he never killed her, everything would be different.
There are so many things that might of never happened, but they just do.
Sometimes you wish there was a restart button, but there isn't.
But not everything can go your way and that is the fact of life.
Leonardo is a special boy with an emotional disability. But this is not to say that his ability to see things for what they are is in any way inhibited compared to other boys or even the grownups.
In Leonardo's house there lives a Wretch, which is another word for a special kind of servant that every house in the city has. In fact, Wretches are all over the city, being put to use to do every conceivable work that can bring the people comfort.
Recently, questions have arisen regarding the true nature of Wretches. What are they? Where did they come from? What underlies their servitude to the people?
At first the answers to these questions are accepted with great enthusiasm by everyone, including Leonardo and his family. And including Jessica, the leader of a rising movement of people who want the truth to come out. But with time it appears that the answers are not as they seemed, and the people start to reject them.
Soon, Jessica is torn down from her pedestal and is renounced as a dangerous heretic. The people want a certain truth, and they will not accept anyone who questions it. And when even his mom joins the crowd, Leonardo is left confused at his chessboard, where his thoughts are the clearest. What is true, and what is right? And how could a little boy with an emotional deficiency be right when everyone else tells him he's wrong?
This story is intended to play on more than one level, and the reader is invited to seek out these levels, or to find new ones altogether.
