"Once a being has been named, it has power.  Be sure to take care of yours.  I'd know how important it is, because I lost mine."
    
    Joshua is always fretting over the "what ifs" in life, but never trusts his gut feeling because it's always wrong... at least until one summer afternoon when he, his friend Markl and cousin have nothing to do and dare each other to go touch the door of the house on the end of the street.  The house everyone hated.  For the first time, Joshua and Markl are at a loss to do when the strange little girl Alice forces them into playing a very dangerous game if they want Sharon back.  But they're not the only victims.  There are others forced into games, some knowing they're playing and others not, but they all have their own goals.  The only question is if Alice is prepared to give them a winning chance.All Rights Reserved
