Title The Oculi Incident Author Regis Schilken Synopsis African American Pastor Paul Logue's gut instinct insists that the few drops of water that fall from the eyes of an ancient crucifix suspended in his old, Gothic Church are probably a diabolical human ruse or possibly a display of Lucifer himself. But in spite of his reassurances, each time the tears form, the word miracle arises from his congregation like a raging firestorm flamed by the media's unquenchable desire for sensationalism. The unique occurrences at his church quickly become national phenomena. Money pours into church coffers as droves of curiosity seekers, tourists, and religious believers visit Saint Martin's to glimpse the miracle cross and to leave behind extremely generous donations. But after several people die hideously, attempting to examine the long-hanging crucifix, Pastor Logue becomes desperate to uncover the cause of the mysterious tears, knowing that who or what he finds might easily claim him as a next victim. Biography Although Regis has retired as a Pittsburgh educator, the teachings of the Benedictine monks over thirty-five years ago have continued to influence his thinking. He has remained obsessed by such issues as good versus evil and the enigma of existence itself. His stories reflect his search for meaning in a very human way. Mr. Schilken is has also authored; The Island Off Stony Point.
