The Median

A Median is something no one ever chooses to be. It's just something you are. A living bridge between the worlds of the living, the dead and everything in between. Some are driven to lash out because of it, some driven to madness. Richard Weighright, though, made a life of it. Patrolling nightly, he's sworn to guard and protect the boundary between worlds, placing lost souls to rest and banishing malevolent wraiths to the void.

Now, long forgotten forces threaten the fine balance kept by the Medians and Richard is forced to confront his own torments and buried secrets that would change his life forever. Yet change is only the beginning as he sets into motion a series of events that leave the fate of the world, as we know it, in the hands of the wrathful dead.

Forced to fight in ever more surreal, hostile surroundings and at the point of breaking, Richard finds a light in the darkness to drive him onwards and the truth of what it really means to be a Median.
