Sometimes the way life treats you makes you want to scream. But nobody is listening. Life can be cruel and without pity or mercy or justice. This is a fact that seems to fill the pages of 'A way out of Hell'. When a bored lonely housewife decides to take the plunge into adultery she doesn’t quite get the excitement she had in mind. Circumstances and a bizarre series of events lead her into the arms of her daughters molesting biology teacher with deadly results. But is James, the Biology teacher, merely a victim of another’s cruel game or simply a sociopath with psychopathic tendencies? When a night of heavy drinking and accidental encounters converge the mother, daughter, father and biology teacher in a tangle of sex and murder the only outcome is a Tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Drug induced psychedelic hallucinations and supernatural visitations take their toll on James Norris as he wades his way through a mind bending series of self destructive inflictions. Firstly, molesting a student was a definite NO-NO but James is led further down the rabbit hole by the advice of his best and only friend who doesn’t even exist, leaving a trail of blood and devastation in his wake. The story follows Rebecca, the daughter, as she tries to understand her relationship to James and the lack of guilt she feels as he awakens her true sexuality. Then as the relationship sours and she finds herself fighting for her life we watch as everything she has ever known and loved is taken from her. We follow the Father whose alcoholism and childish behavior push his wife away when all he really wants is her affection. His selfishness and aggression masking his true feelings, which he is unaware of until it is too late. Throughout all of this a malevolent presence is growing, pulling the strings to try and break the mind of James and win freedom from the shadows. Ultimately the story ends in a bloody showdown in a deserted farm house, but has good conquered evil or is James destined t
