Produktbeschreibung

The gritty streets of downtown teemed with the harsh realities of life, where the forgotten dregs of society sought refuge in shadowed alleyways. It was there, nestled amid piles of refuse and discarded dreams, that a solitary figure slumbereda homeless man named Jack, his ragged clothes and weathered face bearing the scars of a lifetime of hardship.

He appeared to be having a nightmare, one of many that had haunted him latelyhis face twitched and he groaned in his sleep.

Suddenly, Jack's eyes snapped open, a cold sweat clinging to his brow. He sat up, his heart racing as he tried to shake off the remnants of the dream that still clung to his mind like cobwebs in a dimly lit room. Looking around the dark alley, he couldn't help but feel like someone or something was watching him.

As he got up unsteadily to his feet, Jack noticed a glint of light coming from the end of the alley. Curiosity piqued, he cautiously made his way towards it, stumbling over broken bottles and discarded trash. The closer he got, the more he realized the light was emanating from a small metallic object lying on the grounda key.

Picking it up, Jack turned it over in his hands, feeling a strange sense of foreboding wash over him. What did this key unlock? And why did it feel like it held the key to unlocking something within himself as well?

Autorenporträt

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
