Abstract
The following MFA Writing thesis is an excerpt of the forthcoming novel "The Shades of Night". The pages cover Part 1 of the novel, which was inspired by the poem Excelsior by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In a post-apocalyptic, neo-ice age setting, Xavier encounters "the strange device," which would allow him to restore the power. But he's not the only one after the device, and there are more dangers still to reveal themselves as he makes his way down to the ruins of the city.
