Trail Mix

Before Tod Timmins meets the naked waif, the vampire, the wizard, and the others, hes just a dull man engaged in manual labor. The job, good for the body but a waste for the mind, is the whole of Tods lifeand it isnt for him. So when a trail appears out of the blue, gambling on fate, he follows it through the city, across the country, and into a realm of adventure and uncertainty. Navigating the path, Tod encounters a mix of creatureshuman, nonhuman, and others, something else altogether. They come from alternate realities, periods in time that arent being clocked, and places no one can verify, all to divine information on why they even exist. The answer is in the Amoeba, an entity neither intelligent nor conscious, yet as omnipresent as a god. In short order, its up to Tod to differentiate friends from foes, lust from love, and fantasy from reality to save and protect the one thing that connects them all.
