JIMMY LONG LEGS, A Novella, Book One

By Loren W. Christensen

"Fun dialog, realistic action, with a strange crime fighting 'hero.'"

"A unique, edge-of-your seat, fast-paced tale."

"A highly-entertaining story about an unusually-gifted man."

"Funny, thrilling, poignant, brilliant action.

No one is what they seem.

Portland, Oregon's 12-square-block area, previously known as skid row, is a violent place, crowded shoulder-to-shoulder with winos, druggies, the violently insane, and criminals of every kind. One study revealed the 12-square-blocks area had more street crime than similar areas in Oakland and Seattle-combined. In the mid-1980s, the city tried to transition skid row to a stylish and hip place called "Old Town." It failed miserably.

One veteran Cop called it "A place forgotten by God."

Twenty-year-old Jimmy Long Legs is a 7-foot 4 inch, hairless, frail and tottering, physically deformed lonely man who spends nights on foggy skid row rooftops like a grotesque gargoyle...ever watching. Given his weakened state, he couldn't possibly be a crime fighter, but when empowered by an otherworldly enabler that he calls THE SURGE, he suddenly becomes a very, very brutal one.
