Afire : Part One

by Rustin Forrester

Overview

Ignoring the rumors, you'd think Jake Chalmers was a perfectly normal boy. Did he really conjure from nothing the details the police needed to solve a monstrous crime? Or was his family involved, and the young Jake let slip something he was supposed to keep secret? There are plenty of stories whispered about Jake Chalmers, and if you asked him, they were all lies - yet lies that led to an uncomfortable truth. Jake was special, and he could do something - at least, until he promised to stop.

 

Now, dreading going under the knife for an operation, the Doctors promised Jake he would be fine. Yet he wakes up to a world gone awry and in the midst of a pandemic, and his family, already broken before... is gone. People are scared, and Jake learns that his small town has borne a heavy toll. Yet something worse is happening, something that cannot be explained - something that cannot be stopped. Some called it spontaneous combustion, others called it the blues - the way their eyes shined just before. What does it have to do with the virus? Is it connected? Were the conspiracy theories right?

 

In Afire: Part One, society's death throes force Jake to make a choice no child should be dealt; to be safe, or stand up for the ones he loves - that is, if he can find them in a world now...playing the blues..with the mad and the missing.

About the Author

The Author lives in the Southern Hemisphere, on an island they never wish to leave. Once a scientist in training, they were doubly blindsided - first, by Crohn's Disease, followed by Ankylosing Spondylytis.

Beginning to spin tales during states of flaring, bedridden yet riding their imagination, poor as it may be, whilst watching clouds through the window of the hospital, or the home he shares with his wife and daughter, who constantly spoil him by simply existing.
