The only way to get back home is to play ... David Sinclair finds himself slipping through different time parallels, which may be a common occurrence where he comes from but no one mentioned the taunting cackle of the man he must pursue, the man who calls himself The Jester – but there’s nothing funny about him. The rules of the game insist that David must catch The Jester in order to return home, but when David enlists Rob’s help, The Jester forces them to play again with new, undefined rules. Join David as he endures the game, and discover not only how depraved The Jester is, but how the woman he loved was the catalyst for this torment. ____________________________________________________________ This novella originally appears in the collection, Slipping Through, by the same author, available in both kindle and print. This edition is only available in kindle, and is a pre-release to the forthcoming sequel, Pool of Players. "You will not come across so well-drawn a villain as The Jester, he is creepy, unexpected, and amorally disturbing. Through him, the author creates a sense of evil that is both frightening and intriguing, like a cobra waiting to strike." - Michael Wombat, author of The Raven's Wing and Fog.
