    About this ebook

    It's been too easy to get comfortable. Too easy to pretend that what we have will always go on the way that it is. Too easy to get complacent, too easy to lose sight of what's important. Old pains and new ones ache to remind us that everything ends. We do our best to keep that wisdom at bay.

    There's someone out there who has never had that luxury. Someone who has no comfort, no room to pretend. Someone determined to put an end to everything, the moment he gets the chance. Someone for whom these years have been torment unending, who intends to visit that torment upon those who set it in motion. Fate is closing in on Ben. His time is running out.

    Ben is faced with terrible realizations. Answers come unbidden, to questions Ben never wanted to ask. The impossible dream is ending, and Ben is confronted with just how impossible it was. It's hard to tell what's real anymore, in the pale light before morning. It's hard to face the rising sun, when it may be the last light you see. Did Ben really believe this could go on forever?

    It could, though. With a little help, it could. There are blank pages left at the back of Ben's book. There's a chance for Ben to rewrite its end. Heaven can't always see Ben. It can't always predict him. It can't always stop him. Not when he's in the grips of the power he's been trying so hard to escape. That power will keep him alive at any cost. Any cost at all.

    Ben's soul. An angel's immortal life. Are they too high a price to pay for an eternal, impossible dream? Can he convince himself that it's worth it? Do the ends really justify these means? Ben isn't sure. But there's something inside him that is. Something inside him that knows what it wants, and will do anything to make it happen. No matter who gets hurt, no matter what's destroyed. No cost is too high to a creature that values nothing. Nothing beyond what it wants.

    Right now, what it wants is Ben.

    Author

    Aleph

    Please visit us at malakh.com for lots of information about the Malakhim series. It is a labour of love, built out of bits of the world's mythology and the personal mythology of one slightly addled but good-hearted artist. It is a cryptic love letter to the lost and lonely, it is a supernatural horror story, and above all it is the story of one lost little boy. Reader discretion is advised, the language is uncensored and the violence can be painful. We adhere to no particular religion but try to respect them all to the extent we know how. Our angels are not intended to represent, nor affront, any faith. They are what we see when we peer behind the curtain, and nothing more. These are our dreams, our nightmares. Come and share them for a while.Aleph is the pseudonymous author of the Malakhim stories, and their original creator.We do not intend any confusion with anyone else using the pseudonym. It was quite uncommon when Aleph first used it as an artist in 1994 out of an affinity for the ideas it represented (tied into the idea of an ox as a work animal among other things) and its endurance through many iterations and many transformations. Since then, many properties have found it fashionable to name a character or product after the first letter in humankind's oldest alphabets, and who can blame them? But we intend no confusion between our artist and anyone else.There is no intended reference between Aleph's chosen pseudonym and any mystical/scriptural/other materials beyond the idea of the letter itself and its origins, and its relationship to the ox. Oxen in general are very special to her, as many references within the text indicate.Inquiries for Aleph should be sent through the general webmaster address at the malakh.com site. Aleph used to respond to each personally, but unfortunately that policy has been much abused. We appreciate feedback, but will ignore heckling entirely. Life is too short for us to put up with that, especially Aleph's.
