About this ebook
After contemplating crossing the threshold over from this life, a broken life, into eternal darkness, Abraham is visited by the dark stranger. The offer of salvation, the offer of having a purpose is a strong enough lure to make him hand himself over to the stranger. But instead of a bright new hope, he finds instead a long, suffering torture where he fulfills his duties under the cover of night. It is a duty which isn't clear of purpose to him. Just deliver the black boxes and never look inside of them. Simple rules, but the Three Sisters, the fabled harbingers that the Deliverers fear, are coming for him.

The Beginning: I began writing in my mid to late teens, sequestered away in my bedroom in rural south west England. The writing was borne out of a need to express myself and to communicate with the world, something I was not good at doing verbally. It became an outlet for me and my writing grew with me through the years.The Middle: The writing stuck with me, and the style and nature of my writing naturally evolved as my life changed. Longer stories started coming along, and I even went through a period of planning and organising stories out before actually writing anything. That flew in the face of the disorganised nature where I would just write everything in one go from a single thought such as a title or a name. Still through a lack of self belief, everything was kept close to my chest. That and habitual procrastination.The End: For the longest time I had a fear of being forgotten and the way I figured to combat that would be to have a published book sat on a library shelf somewhere. I would have indelibly left my mark somewhere, long after I passed. That was a motivation in the back of my subconscious mind somewhere and still to this day, the enduring nature of my words in print following my end, is comforting.

Chapter One
Abraham silently slipped in between the bushes, his black uniform camouflaging him against the sleepy dark. He kept his usual firm grip on the black container within his hand. Ahead of him, he could see no lights on in the house.
There never was, why would there be at this hour?
Only the stars in the night sky could see him and they would tell no tales. Taking a deep breath and keeping as low as possible, Abraham scuttled from the cover of the bushes and ran across the lawn. Upon reaching the house, he squat with his back against the wall and caught his breath. The air was feeling damp around him and he sensed an approaching storm. Looking up, the sky was still clear enough to see the stars immediately above him, but all around dark clouds were gathering, swarming to smother the world. He guessed that he would never have enough time for the remainder of the houses on his route before any rain came.
If alone this one.
Abraham stood upright and edged sideways, feeling his way with his back pressed against the cold brick. The windows were always the first point of entry to check, just a crack, that's all he would need. The window next to him was sealed tight, locked, as was so often the case, but ground floor windows still offered the easiest access so it was always worth a try.
