House of Deception

It was half-past nine o’clock and the time seemed to slip away from Jackson Zane, Governor of Lenox. Being the highest-ranking person in the state wasn’t easy. There would always be a price to pay for his work as governor. There would always be someone who would want a payback, people like Wyatt Derwin, his chief of staff, and the people. There was a lot at stake for Jackson, as a swift knock on the door would lead him into another world, as he was interrupted by the feeling of an unfamiliar shadow standing over him. Maybe an angel, or maybe an enemy, but there was no one there. Maybe it was just his imagination haunting him, as Jackson looked slowly and carefully around the room filled with pages of tattered books. It was all unfamiliar to Jackson, as the mysteries of Room 232 and his life seemed to now hold his fate in the biggest court trial known as the house of deception.
