Escape

When Michael Rorke, a talented yet self-absorbed author, meets his untimely end in an accident, he awakens as a wanderer - a spirit caught between worlds, unsure of what afterlife, be it blissful or grim, lies ahead. In this liminal state, he is unable to return to the living and faces an uncertain path forward. This twilight world is fraught with dangers, teeming with predators that prey on spirits like him. Michael's urgent quest for resolution becomes increasingly complex as he encounters various beings: some mortal, some otherworldly. Among them is a determined stalker, an eternal entity tasked with guiding lost souls to either heaven or hell; a young, frustrated writer who is the sole person able to see and communicate with him; a captivating young woman who unwittingly lures him from beyond her grave; and an Angel who offers both guidance and warnings. Escape is a taut, fast-paced narrative that weaves mystical and harrowing elements with unexpected twists. The story is driven by intriguing characters whose fates are inexorably intertwined, their lives and, for one, his very soul, dependent on each other.
