The Life of the Spirit is a novella about a young disabled man who goes in search of a big wild cat in the Brecon Beacon’s. He is accompanied by his father and his friend. The three of them are ill-prepared and soon realise that it is they who become the prey.
Jim Knott’s is a paraplegic, his legs are withered and shrivelled things which he wishes one day could be magically fixed. Jim is eighteen years old and lives with his father, Jenson, in an old caravan infested with vermin. His mother died in childbirth and ever since then his father has been building a new home for the two of them. That was twenty years ago and the house is far from finished.
Jim’s friend Johnny calls one day, Johnny is the same age as Jim. He has been in and out of mental institutions ever since his first love left him five years ago. Johnny is everything that Jim is not. He has character; witty, smart, handsome and never seems short of money. Johnny begins to discuss a recent sighting of the big cat and claims it may well be a full-sized African tiger.
There have been various sightings of the large cat (named ‘The Beast of Brecon’) in the local news.
Jim decides he will show the world that even when you’re born without legs it is still possible to achieve the impossible, in this instance, to capture and bring home a live African tiger.
As soon as Johnny and his father get wind of Jim’s plan the three of them head up into the lonely hostile unfriendly black mountains of Brecon Beacon’s and see if they can find the big cat.
