About this ebook
In this short by Ben Ditmars, Jeff Witherspork has spent his whole life being different. The other kids made fun of his strange last name and that was the least of it. They never knew about the doors opening on their own or the paths appearing out of nowhere. He kept it completely secret, until adulthood when a mysterious email arrived, throwing him into an elaborate mystery with others like him. Together, they must solve a riddle hidden deep within the earth and time itself for milennia. Should they fail, much more than the planet is at stake...
