Fox Bites

When Taban wishes for the world to end something out there . . . hears him. Soon the young boy is being stalked by a fox whose salivating jaws drag him into strange dreams. Dreams where he is a revolutionary with ancient psychic powers fighting against a tyrannical regime. He awakes with glowing scars that only he can see and the lingering embers of telekinetic abilities. Honing this flicker of power over years he plots revenge on the bullies who’ ve abused him. In exchange he will become the conduit for the world’ s end. But what if he changes his mind? Surely we can all come back from the edge? Can we?
