Glitches

Glitches is a story of a young man at the end of his rope. A suicidal young man that, from every other vantage, has absolutely everything the world has to offer. He is engaged to be married into a very rich family and afforded every whim imaginable. And yet he is tormented and he doesn't know why.

Then, on a random day, Ben accidentally stops time. Stops it cold. He watches as an jet hangs in the sky without moving. The clocks in his apartment are frozen in place. And yet, he is able to move around and interact with life as though nothing happened. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. He soon realizes there are entirely other schools of mental powers and not only that, but that they come very easily to him.

And then, during one of his glitches he notices a woman that seems to be outside of time as well and aware of what he is doing. Ben's red headed muse as he would soon come to call her. Were there others with powers like his? Can he find her again? And more importantly, will Ben realize that there are many who do not want him to utilize his powers at all? And that is when the first hitman arrives to silence him forever.

Glitches is an underground world of paranormal societies seething and pulsing just underneath societies normal view. Houses, Skills, and assasins all move freely in order to do the bidding of these silent communities. And Ben has just stumbled into the scariest question of his new life... "I wanted to commit suicide before, but now the redhead may just be my real undoing."

Glitches is a NaNoWriMo book I wrote last year. Its a 411 page novel with almost 90,000 words. I will be posting a chapter a day until all 36 chapters are here for your review. Can't wait to hear your ideas and critiques!
