Page 2 - The Devil's Arsonist

Synopsis

I am a man with a past, not just one, but many; my soul reincarnated into the body of another,
over and over again, century after century; my past lives relived through the visions that keep
me awake at night and trouble my thoughts by day. Never do I see visions of love, laughter or
joy, but only those of hatred, tragedy and sadness. Then one day my visions became ones of
absolute terror; they were everywhere; within the books I read, the objects that I touched and,
on the land, I trod. Now they were of death and murder, born out of flame and fire; ever more
personal, ever more real and ever more horrific. They were about me and me alone; about the
terrible deeds I had committed across the ages. All done in the name of God, church and
state; but most of all by the evil that lived within my soul.

This is my story and of the search to confirm my guilt. It is a tale which begins with a
confession of my sins, where no light of goodness shone, only the darkness of evil was seen;
and ends when my soul perishes in the flames of redemption, only to be reborn into the one
time and place where I truly belonged. It is a tale of a man born into the wrong time; a man
who had to fight an even greater battle; one to save his very soul and defeat the impossible. It
will speak of how faith and belief can overcome even death itself; and written for all those
who believe that death is not the end of life, but merely the start of a new beginning, with
those they love. My name is William Gilderiche and I am the Devil’s Arsonist.
