The Chesapeake Incident
By: Ralph F. Deso
Benjamin Sikes was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1977 and had what many would consider a normal American childhood. Sikes, however, acted out and got into trouble often, and his disruptive, reckless behavior continued into adulthood. In 2001, when the Twin Towers fell, Sikes's reaction was different than that of his cohorts, believing that it was what the U.S. deserved. His beliefs caught the attention of Doug and Hasheim Abbasi, Muslim jihadists who wanted Sikes to join them in carrying out the wishes of Allah.
This leads us to the year 2018 and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. As twenty-eight vehicles make their way through the tunnel, they are cut off by white vans-vans full of jihadists with guns. Told in a unique and compelling structure, The Chesapeake Incident is a harrowing tale of a heinous act and of the brave men and women who stood up against evil in the face of fear and death.
