In my book, I envision an alternative stream of spiritual plasma flowing just above the Shenandoah river. It is invisible to the naked eye of the average person. Only through the heart can it be seen. It is fed by the sadness and woes of generations of departed denizens of the Valley. Unlike the river water below, it does not pass through the mountain gap across from Harpers Ferry but instead sinks below the water surface and into hidden caverns within the mountain. The Kindred suspects that this powerful supernatural force is being somehow being manipulated by the Authority as part of its control system. A rebel mission is assigned the most skilled rock climbers and spelunkers to enter the mountain through a heretofore hidden cave entrance. The team follows a ghostly apparition within the mountain. They don’t realize it but the ghost is the metaphysical manifestation of Los. He made the ultimate sacrifice to lead this mission. The cave terminates above a vast cavern. A phosphorescent lake is formed by the flowing plasma river. Strange alien creatures hover near its banks. They dip nets of some sort into the water with their grey willowy arms. Straining the contents into an artificially engineered aqueduct, they send it flowing with another natural water source into the mountain. The spirit of Los hovers over the lake. He rescues the soul of Enith. A million other souls escape their confinement of the plasma and surge upwards towards freedom. Except Los and Enith. Together, they fly through the manmade passage towards the underground government complex called Mt. Storm. The Kindred crew stays behind and plants explosives that when detonated will blast a hole through the mountain and divert the Potomac River into the tunnel leading to Mt. Storm. It will flow like a flash flood through the tunnel until it burst into the 7th underground level of the federal complex 8 miles to the South. Within seconds, the flooding will submerge the power station exploding the transformers with devastating results.
