The Losers
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Tawly was what those in the Next Place called a Keeper. A Keeper was assigned to someone who was left behind on earth, left behind after death swallowed up one of their most cherished companions. If a Keeper was assigned, it was because that person who was left behind was on the precipice of taking their own life. They wanted out. People who were left behind and were in danger were called the Losers, and Janey was Tawly’s Loser. Before Tawly died, she had been Janey’s mother, her friend, and her kindred spirit; now, she was her Keeper.
The Losers, who were all grieving the death of someone they believed they could not live without, were in such tenuous states that their will was often misguided, to the point of self-destruction. They were blinded to the possibility of ever experiencing joy on earth again. And they found no solace in the “time heals all wounds” mantra. How could they? Time had just been forever poisoned for them. Now it was simply time left in an emotional prison. They were walking on high wires. So the Keepers were on a life-or-death mission to tip the scales in the Loser’s favor. It was not a given; they did not always win. For the Legion was there as well. And the Legion played by an entirely different set of rules. Their goal was simple and straightforward: to steal life.
