The Maze

Like Aesop’s Fables and Orwell’s Animal Farm, The Maze is populated with animal characters who, in their words and actions, reveal truths about human nature. In The Woods, a very popular, clever, and ambitious rat named Sniff—who commands a pack of deputy rats known as The Five—intends to replace the aging leader, Owl, when he retires on election day in two weeks. As a famous athlete of the air in his youth, Owl has established The Tradition of Wings. In his speeches to the animals, Sniff—an assistant to Owl but already acting as if he’s the leader—promises to establish what he calls “The Kingdom of Sharing,” in which rats will be “leaders” and all other animals will be “followers.” Opposing Sniff’s rise to power are two winged animals—a well-known poet hawk, Wing, and his studious friend, Butterfly—and Claws, a young, robust, and competitive squirrel. The central image of the story is a maze. Sniff has one built ostensibly for community recreation but actually to make money and to display rats’ superiority as maze-runners. Other characters in this sometimes-humorous story include Spider, an architect; Snake, a “shady” character; Stub, a mole who assists Sniff; and Frog, an instructor of bug-catching. The Maze is not only about human nature but about animal life in general. It explores necessities of survival such as status and power, altruism and self-interest, the defense of territory, and the conquering of enemies through group cooperation.
Hit from Behind
...hit from behind... is a captivating story of how a seemingly innocent fishing trip turns into disaster. During a hot summer evening Jim and his son biked home from a fishing trip when a car hit Jim, almost costing his life. Near death, Jim describes the black room. This book is not simply about the accident; it delves deeper into what it means to have a relationship with God. "It's not a matter of if we get hit from behind, it's a matter of when." All of us get 'hit' sooner or later. How do you handle the loss of control over your life? This short story is about you. If you're not a Christian, it will stir thinking about God. If you are a Christian, it will stir thinking of the difference between giving your heart to Christ and giving your life to Him. Jim Heckel lives with his wife, Beth, in Loveland, Colorado. ... hit from behind... is his first book. He has a long list of published papers and articles on topics, his specialty which is leadership. He has a son, Nathan, and a daughter, Aimee. While recovering from a near-fatal car-versus-bicycle accident, his daughter encouraged him to "write, write, write." Heckel's rehab afforded him time to reflect, pray and listen to her encouragement. He put on paper what he was processing internally. Heckel is an outdoors person and spends his free time fly-fishing, backpacking and hiking - and he's back on the bicycle. He's an active member of his church, works for a high-tech corporation and plays the drums when he's happy. Heckel is passionate about humanitarian aid, serving as secretary for Think Humanity (www.thinkhumanity.org). His nickname is Frog. No one knows why, but he's OK with that.
