"'Just three more stops,' I thought to myself. I gripped my knife, the handle digging into my flesh. I closed my eyes and tried to think of Eris."A descent down the path of self-destruction, does salvation lie around the corner or is it merely an illusion? The Last Three is a captivating story of a lost soul on the streets of a modern dystopia.“Imagine things and make them real.”When Oliver Bell meets a beautiful young woman one night in his dreams, he literally can’t get her out of his mind. Unfortunately, he also can’t tell if she’s anything more than just a wonderful figment of his imagination.
