Willful -- Jacket Blurb and Premise Statement

He can alter reality through sheer willpower alone.

He doesn't remember when it started or how old he actually is. What he does know is that he has been a wizard, a messiah, a superhero, a sociopath, a warrior, and a lover. But of all the things he's been, he's happiest with what he is now: a suburban husband and father.

He doesn't use his abilities much anymore. He might save a beloved pet or keep the neighbor's kid from falling out of a tree. However, recently something has changed. Reality is becoming harder to control. Changes that he made are unravelling, snapping back to their previous form, sending ripples through the fabric of reality and shaking-up his carefully crafted existence.

What frustrates him the most is the feeling that these failures aren't random. It's as if reality itself is fighting back with a purpose. but purpose belies intent and intent belies consciousness. 

What is this force opposing him and does he have the will left to fight it? Or, does he even want to?



Reality-altering husband and father wants to maintain his idyllic suburban life. But when his powers start to fail and pieces of reality begin to snap back into their original design, he has to choose between maintaining his diminishing control on reality or living his destiny.
