Gloria BobrowiczEditor-in-Chief/Owner, Sirens Call Publications Gary Javin was at the top of his world. His only dilemma was what his wife, Holly wanted, but now was not the time. Then, a strange man bearing a strong resemblance to him warned to "Beware the storm. She's coming for you." Was his words nothing more than a lunatic raving, but the storm came. And lightning struck him, and Gary awoke to a strange world, one that was opposite his. How does he get home? How does he tell Holly that he was sorry, but it wasn't her. None of them were the people that he knew, and some believed him to be dead. And they didn't like that he was still alive. As Gary tried to escape the danger now closing in, he found another, another Gary. How many of them were there, and was one of them in his world, with his wife, living his life? Holly found herself ensnared in a similar mystery. Who was the strange man that called her, and what was her connection to him? And why did she feel so much for someone that she never met, but maybe, they did meet in another life. And maybe in that other life, she was his wife, and would that Holly also be seeking answers? Would she know what really happened to him, Gary, but where did all this lead the other Holly, the one that never met him? Would she find the answers that she was seeking, or would she fall into the crosshairs of the same danger that Gary himself tried to escape? Only time would tell.
