    About this ebook

    Tyler Harp is a forensic lab technician with a Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering. He went to a prodigious college that gives Bachelor degrees in only two years; only twenty years old, he is allowed a gun, and is already at full work with people much older than him. One day, he is faced with an altercation with a known thug. After stabbing him, Tyler runs home. The next day, he finds himself charged with murder. Without much evidence, he is only suspended, not arrested. From there, he conducts his own investigation that travels to the very core of his psyche.

    Tyler Harp

    Tyler Harp is a seventeen year old male born and raised in a small town called Gulf Breeze in the panhandle of Florida. At a young age, Tyler was exposed to the harsh truths and realities of life: death and love. As a young teenager, he experienced the deaths of a couple of his uncles, his grandparents, and a child hood friend. When high school started, he was already mature. Freshman year, he experienced another friend's death. That same year, he experienced his first love, and the loss shortly after. He became what one would call 'emo.' Presently, he is still as mature as ever, more actually, and sees life on a lighter side after finding God junior year.

      Part 1

      The protagonist of this story is a man of twenty years named Tyler Harp. He’s an over-worked, under-paid forensic scientist…a regular, everyday man you could say. He’s only a bit odd because of his firm belief in the zombie apocalypse, and his closet is stocked with ammunition and several guns…Not to mention his mental instability…Twitching, flashes of violence in his mind, and social ineptness…But he’s a kind, caring man; he can control it…usually.

      Voice: Tyler! Tyler!

      The voice is muffled. I open my eyes and I’m in a white, bare room. I look around; a door, a table with a typewriter, and I’m lying on a cot. I get up and walk around. I look closely at the typewriter; in it is a sheet of paper with the ending to a book called The Wasteland. I don’t take the time to read it, but on every page the number 208976 is written. I take some more time to look around the room; it truly is barren…I walk to the door and go for the handle, locked, of course. I look at the door, there is no lock…I look up, a keypad. What the hell? I think, and I type 208976. Beep! The door is unlocked. I open the door, there is nothing but white light. I walk forward. Everything is bright white then black. I hear the voice again.

      Voice: Tyler!

      I gasp awake. I look around, I’m in my car.

      Voice: Hey!

      I look out my window, it’s my boss.

      Me: Oh, hey, what’s wrong Mr. Cummings?

      Travis: Well for one, you know to call me Travis. Two, you’re asleep in your car, you need to go home.

      Me: But I need to clock in!

      Travis: …You just clocked out…You’re done for today.

      Me: Oh…sorry. I’ve been a little…distracted lately.
