    About this ebook

    Greg Matthews lives day after day under the lash of inhuman guards. Doing pointless and back-breaking labor for no other purpose than to demean and oppress. Things take a turn for the even more cruel and usual as Jasper, the whimsical madman that lords himself over the community of damned souls, eyes Greg for a special project. Each year a tournament of death is held with the workers as competitors. The winner in the end is allowed to return to the life they lived before. Free. Jasper loves a rigged game and wants Greg to fight on his behalf. Make Greg do terrible things he never thought himself capable of. For his victory, Jasper would allow not only Greg, but all of his friends to leave with him. The catch being that should he fail, Greg and the lot will have to endure a new level of suffering beyond any of their imaginations. With more than just his own eternal soul in the balance, Greg must step up and become at least a fraction of the lunatic pulling his puppet strings.

      The Room Above

      For a moment, he had no thoughts. Just…observations… A blue hole. No – a window… Crystalline sky swelling through a big square gap in the otherwise plain white wall. He blinked. Was that sky out there? What was in here? Where was ‘here’? He blinked s

      As I drove slowly towards the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
