Darkness knows no bounds, as Alcott, an African American doctor sees all too
well. The man is petrified by death. His fragile existence rests at the mercy
of the universe. This fact is far too much for him to handle. From unyielding
nightmares to elevator terrors, he’s lost in paranoia.
Assigned to look after an ill child, Alcott’s horrors only heighten. Gari is a
nine-year-old boy with a fatal disease. He will surely pass on within the year.
Alcott bonds with him more and more each day. Part of him knows this grim fate
just isn’t right.
Alcott befriends a hospital patient. This lunatic forces him to lug home an
ancient text on bringing back the dead. Despite the man’s obvious dementia,
Alcott attempts the scheme. Charging up a cliff, he recites the chant over
ocean gusts.
A god woman glides in from the horizon. She instructs Alcott on the trials to
save Gari’s life. These fearsome Obstacles require true strength. From battling
sharks to wielding a flail, he must prove fortitude against genuine danger.
Alcott decides his fate at this moment.

be like. I was very surprised to find out that I loved writing it! It felt
awesome to be able to make anything I wanted happen with the story, and control
what the characters would do. So, I kept going and thought, hey! maybe I can
actually make this a book! I was just afraid I would get bored or quit halfway
through, so I had to tell myself that if I keep going I have to stick with it.
