Gaffer, a passionate writer in Cairo, endures extreme heat while working on his story using an old computer. Despite financial troubles and an oppressive environment, he persists. A dispute over unpaid rent exacerbates his stress. During a sweltering summer, Gaffer experiences a heatstroke, leading to a fall from his apartment that causes significant injuries. In the hospital, Gaffer grapples with the pain and frustration of his condition, yet he remains determined to complete his work. After a struggle, he returns to his apartment to finish his story, despite his injuries. Eventually, his efforts lead to his demise, but his manuscript is discovered and published, achieving recognition. The story ends with the irony of his work being celebrated posthumously, and a boy who discovered his manuscript benefits from it.

What ties us to the Earth? What is life after death? Why do we continue to live in a world full of broken promises and empty smiles? Jace Abney has been wondering this for all of his life. Now he's older, almost 35, with a wife and two beautiful children and an amazing job as a doctor. Yet, even through all of this, he still has not found the happiness he has been looking for since he was a small child. His life still holds an inescapable void, slowly gnawing at the sanity in his mind. Jace has been visiting a cliff for the past week. His intentions to jump over weigh his sanity in the beginning, but in the end the roles are switched. He curses at his self and ventures back home, locking away his thoughts for what he feels will be forever. Yet, the very next day he repeats his cycle again. On the opposite end of the United States, a teenager named Arron asks himself the same questions. Yet, because of his age, no one takes him seriously. "You're still young," they tell him, "It gets better." Arron can't see anything getting better though, and so he takes matters into his own hands. In the middle of the night, he grabs what little he has and flees. Arron isn't sure where to go or what to do, but he's doing something. Will Jace find what he's looking for? Will he jump or never visit the cliff again? Will Arron get hurt? What will become of him? To find out, continue reading.
