When Jack Williams, a wrongfully accused prisoner who's awaiting his death by electric chair, receives a letter from 6 year old Sachi, a lonely girl with recently divorced parents, everything changes - including his will to live. At first, Jack was just trying to figure out how to live life, like everybody else. However, when he suddenly finds himself in a court room, accused of being one of the most dangerous serial killers of his time, his world turns upside down. It seemed like everything would've been okay, seeing as his friend was a fresh lawyer, and his other, a private investigator. When he ends up losing, he's sentenced to 10 years in prison, only to be killed by an electric chair afterwards. The only thing keeping him sane is his friend, Evan, the private investigator. In hopes that the real killer will one day be found, he tries to stay calm and forget the fact that he only has 2 years left before he's forced to die. But his pep talks aren't working as well as they used too. After an almost successful attempt, he receives a letter the next day, from 6 year old Sachi, who he decides he wants to help. He constantly questions whether the decision is the right one, but the question is completely out of ask, the second he meets Sachi. What did Sachi say to Jack in her letter? Will Jack ever be found innocent? More importantly, will the ACTUAL killer be found? Does Sachi finally find the friend that she was looking for in Jack? Find out in - The Forgotten Prisoner. (This idea came from a writing prompt in Tiktok so I can't take complete credit!!)

Jack and Ann have taken me on a great adventure full of mystery and incredible technology, I hope you'll join us. I know you have a lot of reading choices, but if you have space left in your literary adventure cup, please join Jack and Ann as 2021 turns into 2022, happy reading! __ The demon whispers inside Jack's mind. "They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn't understand. It's a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon's voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn't remember...yet.
