The Red Diamond

About the Book

“5:00 pm. It is time for the execution.” Two minutes later, Derrick found himself stepping on the old shaft—that wooden shaft where the to-be-executed stood before it was taken out from beneath their feet, leaving them hanging in the air by their necks! The world was a beautiful garden of dreams and perpetual reveries, where everything went just as Derrick Frederick crafted it. Until—it turned upsidedown. Until—that glorious picturesque shattered. And he’s forced to take the path which you take only when no other is left, where you no longer govern your actions, your pain does! The Red Diamond gives him a stand where he thought − and almost accepted − that everything was lost . . .
