The Halo<\/em><\/h1>\n

C. Dale Young<\/h2>\n

The Halo <\/em>is a quasi-autobiography about a man who has wings and desperately wants to be simply human. Tracking from adolescence through adulthood, it explores an accident that temporarily paralyzes him and exposes him to human weakness all the way to his transformation into something more powerful than even he realizes. It explores a personal evolution from being prey to becoming the hunter.<\/p>\n

from \u201cThe Vista,\u201d from The Halo<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\nestimated the distance down to the bottom
\nof that dirty ravine. This is what someone with wings
\ndoes when he knows he cannot fly: he measures
\ndistance….<\/p>\n
