    About this ebook

    In "Jumper" two men stand on a rooftop, separate lives, separate problems, the same solution. Reaper doesn't care if the man on the ledge dies. He doesn't care about his pathetic life, or his pathetic problems. He only cares about one thing, revenge.

    A deadly organization, a seemingly ordinary, but somehow mysterious girl, a man in the wrong place at the right time. In "Room 108" Daniel, a battered and bruised makeshift hero, takes refuge in an old motel, and tries to cope with the difficulties of caring for a young girl while running for their lives.

    Any good son would want to see their father before he died. Right? In "Tonight Belongs to Death" a son makes the dreaded trek through a decaying apartment building to visit the home he vowed never to return to. Will the scars of his past cause him to turn away, or can he face the man he calls father?
