SOB: Sins of Brother

“I don’t know what’s going to happen today. Maybe one of my dumbass Hail Marys is finally going to cost me my pulse. But there is one thing I promise you… Whether it’s in 6 seconds or 60 years, Whether it’s because of natural causes or a bullet in my throat, Whether my headstone is visited by my family or lies forgotten, There is one thing I promise you with every fiber of my being; I will never live long enough to bury my brother.” Our tale finds Theo, a young man with a peculiar power and a truckload of baggage desperately trying to protect his only remaining family from a world he has only ever known as a cruel testament to social Darwinism. Scarred by the memories of the bloody crime scene he used to call his home, Theo scratches and claws to survive amongst Windson’s twisted spires and equally crooked citizens. However, when his last remaining tether to sanity, his younger brother Yomi, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, despair forces Theo’s hand. Defying every voice screaming sense into his ears, he recklessly strikes a boneheaded deal with a ruthless loan shark that forces his hand into innocents’ pockets and ultimately leads to him with a noose around his neck. The trapdoor gives way. The line around his neck tauts. His eyes open, but it’s not the Reaper he greets. He finds himself face-to-face with something else. Something that can give him a second chance. Something that might just lead to that ‘happily ever after’ he so desperately craves...
