Then suddenly Javier veered off the road into a jungle area. This sudden turn made Isabella feel very uneasy. She asked where they were. Javier did not answer her. Bumpidy, bump went the jeep. Isabella thought she was going to fall right out. “Please, please let’s get out of here.” “I thought you wanted the ring?” said Javier. “I do, but where in here is it?” The vines and branches were hitting them in their faces. “It’s just a bit aways from here,” said Javier. About ten minutes later, they reached their destination. “Here we are.” They got out and walked a few minutes. Javier had taken a shovel and a gun out of the jeep. “Here,” he said. “Start digging. I’ll stand as a lookout.” “Look out, Look out for what?” asked Isabella. “Who is out here, in this god forsaken place?”

About the Book
Over the past few decades, the plot twist technique has been made popular on the page and screen. In the twisted plotline, it’s hard to know who’s telling the truth—the protagonist, the antagonist, or even the narrator—until the very last second before the credits roll against the black background. It’s impossible to know what to expect, but it’s easy to bet that no character is safe—even the hero and his leading lady.
Twenty-Three Twists takes a closer look at the plot twist, introducing twenty-three short stories intended to confound your imagination and keep you guessing until the end. Each story has a unique quality and distinct flavor of its own, but they all end with an unexpected twist. Think you’re a plot mastermind? Step on up and meet the long list of characters surprised to find themselves in utterly strange circumstances.
Take, for instance, married couple Bill and Sophie, who embark on a short vacation at a Caribbean resort and discover a scuba diving adventure that changes their lives forever. There is intuitive Clara, whose class trip to a county courthouse teaches her a lot more than judicial law. There are many other characters in Twenty-Three Twists, waiting for you to unravel their twisted lives. Prepare to be astounded!
