About The Smoke Beneath The Sun

Solom has spent his entire life climbing — clawing his way to power, wealth, and status with the ruthless precision of a self-made king. To the outside world, he is untouchable: a titan of industry, a legend, a man who won—who has everything, except peace. Behind the fortress of luxury and influence, Solom is crumbling. His body begins to fail and so does the illusion of control. Now in the twilight of his life, plagued by a gnawing emptiness he can no longer ignore, Solom finds himself haunted by vivid nightmares—strange and terrifying visions that pull him into a realm known only as Sheol. In this twisted mirror of his own mind, Solom’s reality bends and replays the echoes of his past. The rules are cruel. Time warps. Shadows whisper. The landscape, alive. And Solom is no longer the king—but becomes the object of his own reckoning. And the only way out may be through complete annihilation. What begins as paranoia spirals into madness. But is it madness—or judgment? Is Sheol a dream, a punishment... or the place where kings go to die? The Smoke Beneath The Sun is a surreal psychological descent into one man’s crumbling empire—within and without. It is a journey through power, paranoia, identity, mortality, and the fragile line between regret and redemption.
