    About this ebook

    Be careful what you wish for...

    On what was supposed to be an ordinary workday, Wesley find himself trapped in a race against time. Finding a mysterious bag of cash on his doorstep, Wesley is faced with a modern-day Aladdin's lamp: he has one afternoon to grant himself three wishes.

    It sounds easy, until the game begins.

    Caught up in a game controlled by an ever-present blonde woman, Wesley has three hours to rid himself of the cash, or he'll lose his life instead.

    A short story: approx. 14 paperback pages.

    Contains a free sample from the novel Blood Cell.
