Historical Fiction

Published: 1/15/2025

 

 

A murdered boy. Tortoiseshell eyeglasses. A letter written by a young man
to another that reads like a lover’s spat. One portable Underwood
typewriter. Two confessions.

Will Babe and Manny live or die?

 

It’s the early 1920s and arrogant teenagers Noah “Babe” Lieberman
and Roman “Manny” Loewe have it all: money, brains, freedom. They
reside in the same affluent Chicago neighborhood, come from successful,
respectable families, and enjoy privileged lives. Both are intelligent
prodigies who graduated high school early. But Roman, an extrovert, is
handsome and popular whereas Noah is average-looking and spends most of his
time with birds and books. After meeting, they embark on a wild journey of
vandalism, burglary, and arson. Their personal relationship escalates, and
their criminal acts morph into more sinister behavior as the two flout the
laws of the “common” man and live their version of the
Übermensch, or “superman” as defined by Friedrich
Nietzsche.

One hundred years ago, the world was stunned to learn that Nathan Leopold
and Richard Loeb, two wealthy, brilliant university students, had confessed
to kidnapping and murdering fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. Why did Leopold
and Loeb do it? For “pure love of excitement, or the imaginary love of
thrills, doing something different,” they said.

 

D.L. Scarpe’s Übermensch fictionalizes the Leopold and Loeb case,
focusing on the reason why the gifted teenagers’ lives took such an
unexpected turn, destroyed three families, and captivated the country in
what was dubbed at the time as the “crime of the century.”

Quotes From the Book…

Man is the cruelest animal.

Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon?

I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.

Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood. 

If these don’t/won’t work let me know and I’ll come up with something else.

About the Author

D.L. Scarpe

D.L. Scarpe has always had stories rattling around inside her head, locked
up tight, only set free on those endless childhood nights spent swapping
tales with her best friend. The story-weaving continued into
adulthood–her little secret. However, raising a family; managing a
household; building retaining walls, patios, or fire pits from stones (rock
“jigsaw puzzles”); refinishing oak floors and furniture; or
helping her husband on a roof–although she tried to pay attention when
on a roof–kept her too busy for that other side of her to come out.
So, it remained a secret.

But kids grow up and bodies get too tired for physical labor, and now
it’s time to pursue her own passions and dreams. Working on her bucket
list, she picked three things that make her happy, and she’s pursuing
them all with no apologies:

Writing.

Shoes.

Tattoos.

Letter to the Single Mom: 

You are amazing. The fact that you’re holding this book in your hands right now shows your commitment to yourself and your future. It shows that you’re ready to step into your power, to create the life you’ve always dreamed of for yourself and your children, no matter where you are on your journey. 

As a single mom myself, I understand the challenges you face — the sleepless nights, the juggling act between work, parenting, and everything in between. It’s hard, but let me remind you of something powerful: You are stronger than you think. You have a resilience inside of you that is untouchable. The love and dedication you pour into your family is immeasurable, and that same energy is what will propel you forward as you build the wealth and financial freedom you deserve.

This book isn’t just a guide to financial success — it’s a message of empowerment. It’s proof that no matter where you start, no matter how many obstacles you face, you can rise. I’ve been there, I know how it feels to feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or like the odds are stacked against you. But trust me, you have the ability to transform your life. You are capable of more than you realize, and you don’t have to do it alone.

You don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” or for things to fall into place. The moment is now, and you have everything you need to begin this new chapter. Keep going, keep pushing, and know that every step you take brings you closer to the life you’re meant to live.

Poetry / Prayer

Date Published: Nov 20, 2024

Publisher:  Serapis Bey Publishing

 

“One does not become enlightened by imagining oneself as a figure of
light but by making the darkness conscious.”
 

Carl Jung (1875 – 1961)

 

A deeper level of consciousness can only be birthed from a space of
darkness, the void of all possibility, as all of life has arisen from
nothingness. Such is the paradox of awakening. When you find yourself held
in suspension, and when you are catapulted out of everything you know to be
true, it is easy to forget the truth of who you really are.

However, no matter the outer experiences, your innermost essence is
unchangeable.

A sense of isolation and separation are undoubtedly facets of the dark
night, but in reality you are never alone. Many people have walked this path
before you, there are those who are currently engulfed in its midst and
those who will follow.

The pieces in this book landed as my own journey through the wilderness.
Each fragment is a lived experience, and each lived experience is a
mentor.

I offer you these words as your companion while you transition through your
own inner shadows…may they provide comfort as you move through the
deepest levels of release and find your way home, to a self-compassion you
never knew existed.

Introduction: The Womb

My eyes open with an unanticipated suddenness. I awaken with a fortress of pillows around me. Safe and secure in the silent darkness. There is a drop in my stomach, I remember. The self-created sanctuary of the womb a thing of the past. A dream shattered to pieces. The plug is out of the socket. I am switched off, absent from myself. Vanished, without a trace.

Did I ever exist? A deep detachment, an incongruence. A profound disharmony between the world inside me and the world around me. My skin is ripping at the seams, something inside me is desperate to get out. How will I lay this demon to rest? Feelings of fear grip my body and hold me hostage. Enveloped in a state of temporary paralysis; I am caged. The new day brings a promise of endless possibilities. I decide to return the gift unopened. Today’s forecast; winds of despondency.

The womb beckons me – again – but it is time to face another day. There are things that need to be addressed. Things which have to be done, no matter what my circumstance. Sunrise, an order that must be obeyed. The mundane rituals bear the load of climbing a mountain. I wonder, is the thought of doing something more of a burden than actually doing it? And yet, these daily undertakings throw me a life ring; prevent me from drowning. These banal everyday responsibilities; the key to my sanity. The ‘humanness’ of my situation, both a blessing and a curse.

As I make a cup of tea, my eyes blankly rest on the world beyond the window. The barren trees and haunting, lonely skies are in commune with my reality. Autumn has come and gone with not so much as a whisper. The jewelled colours now faded leave me with a hollow heart. I am smothered in hues of grey, inhabiting this spartan landscape of gloom. Even the bitter chill that seeps into my bones does not wake me from this century old slumber. Yes, autumn has abandoned me with not so much as a goodbye. I have abandoned myself, with not so much as a goodbye. A subliminal sadness only magnified by the disappearance of the sun. Like a hamster in a cage, in a nomadic frenzy, I senselessly move from one thing to the next, leaving behind a trail of unfinished tasks. And then I pause, frozen, the all too familiar feeling of worry swoops in unannounced and bullies me into submission. A crippling vacuum shadows me all day. It seems the entire world is going about their business and I am forced to remain stationary. I stand with my open wound; reticent in its nature.

Yes, I exist, but in name only; I am not living. I switch on the television, hoping the images on the screen will somehow reconnect me. But to no avail. The sounds that filter through the radio have the same effect. I remain, quite simply, totally disconnected.

What gave me pleasure, is now reduced to nothing but a chore. What I looked forward to, now makes me want to hide in a box. However, I continue to put one foot in front of the other. I will get through today; as I did yesterday. Dawn will keep its promise tomorrow and arise as it always does. Perhaps, this is what my Beloved calls, unconditional love.
