The Words - Issue #4

In Friends in Need, seven Words created the universe, but misused The Words can destroy everything. Each Word lets its Speaker rewrite a physical law in the area near them - for four hours. During that time, guardian monks from China quest to locate and kill the Speaker whose ignorance might unmake the earth. Eric's attractive boss in Portland, Violet Waxman, must help her father sell the bookstore to pay back crime czar, Logan Castro. Worse yet, Eric's buddy, Walt, has been taken hostage by Logan's men.

Previously, Eric Rock, a bookstore clerk in Portland, Oregon, learned the power word AmJukJa from his grandmother and it erased gravity around him, but, in San Francisco, he barely escapes an assassin monk while a friendly one teaches him a second power word, KadavRa, erasing weightlessness and then doubling his density with each repetition until bullets cannot hurt him.
