SYNOPSIS
Protagonist Snake sits by a gravestone and commits suicide. He suddenly wakes up half dead supposedly in the past where he relives and coincidentally changes the events that led to his demise. However, it’s not long before he realises that others remember the future too, and there’s something much more sinister and powerful waiting to be unearthed. Once he uncovers the truth, it might just spell the end of everything.
ACHIEVEMENTS
The story was shortlisted for Most Creative Submission 2010 on the PlayStation UK Forum.

PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
This is the first novel-sized fictional literature I have written, and has been a huge learning curve in storytelling and audience responses.
