I’m working on a new intro for my eBook, Any Tomorrow: The Calling. Would this make you want to know more about the story?
Could the world end without you knowing? Could the dead surpass the living without you being aware? Could the desolation overtake the earth without you being affected?
It depends.
Which world? Which earth? The one before or after that odd déjà vu? The one that moved you to that so similar, but not quite the same, place? Or the one that took you to a place so radically different that your mind refused to believe it was real?
But it was real.
You know it was real and you know that you were brought to that place for a purpose. But was it to save the world or to destroy it?
And did it matter anyway?
Had he the presence of mind, Gerhardt Linder might have considered this, but he had no time as the SS-men in the black uniforms jackbooted their way towards his door. All he knew, all he would remember, was the slight distortion in the sunlight streaming through his apartment window. It was oh so slight a shimmer and, in so many other ways, unremarkable. But it was remarkable, because once he passed through it the SS-men were gone and everything he had thought to be true and real had changed forever.
From that moment onward he knew that any tomorrow he might be compelled to a different where and when by a fate over which he had no control or claim, a fate that was beyond him to refuse, a fate that would determine everything.
Leave a comment and let me know. Thanks.
