Justin Gale Deals with Death

by Reece Hauxby

“Age 12, Newgate Orphanage, Room seven, Justin Gale…” is the next entry in an ever increasing inventory on Death’s Justin Gale Deals with Death Covercomputer. For Death it is just another terminal illness, just another mundane task, just another soul for his collection. Little does he realise just how consequential this house call will become.

Justin Gale is not your typical teenager and does not give up his soul so easily. He has an ace up his sleeve; he traps Death and barters the evil half of his soul for immortality.

But who could have foreseen that Death’s technophile henchman, the mistreated Havoc, would free the evil half-soul? Who could have foreseen the half-soul rampaging through space and time, searching for perfect vengeance on the reality that created it? Who could have foreseen an Archangel make the monumental mistake of fitting every donkey in existence with an iPhone? This is the universe as seen by immortals; a space-time of shady characters, incredible technologies, time travelling dinosaurs and heavily armed genocidal ants. It is the universe that Justin, with Death as guide and mentor, must navigate to unravel a mystery that will, at least once, destroy reality.
