My Book Of African Stories

By Marley Omuni

THE DOORKEEPER

After a romantic dinner date, Simi makes a reckless mistake behind the wheel that shatters her world-her husband doesn't survive the crash, but she does. Wracked with guilt and drowning in grief at the hospital, she is visited by a spectral figure known only as The Doorkeeper, a supernatural entity who guards the threshold between life and death. The Doorkeeper offers Simi an impossible choice: her husband can return, but at a cost that might bring her even more grief -one that could tear her further apart. As she weighs her grief against the unthinkable cost, Simi must decide whether true love means holding on... or letting go forever.

Trapped with violence at their doorstep and nowhere to run, Ben and Lilian are forced into a deadly game of survival where they must outwit their pursuers who are hellbent on recovering the contents of the briefcase, and silencing the witnesses forever.
