Becoming
A novel where dreams become real and one man must choose humanity's fate.
Johnson constructs a story around Mahavir, who finds himself in a world where the boundary between sleep and waking has dissolved. He encounters Joseph, Lila, and their families while grappling with his own feelings toward humanity. The plot does not rely on monster hunts but rather on the internal struggle of defining one's purpose when reality itself is fluid. Mahavir’s journey involves rejecting the fate assigned by dreams in favor of making his own choices. This approach highlights the theme that personal decision holds more weight than supernatural power. The narrative remains focused on the psychological impact of losing tangible humanity and the burden of responsibility that comes with it.
Published in 2010 by Authorhouse, this work sits within the genre of supernatural fiction. It draws on themes of gothic uncertainty and the loss of former identity. The text reflects a period where digital media began influencing how authors conceptualized reality and perception in speculative narratives.
