Imagine you could watch yourself. Imagine you could walk through a day of your life and see just who you really are. Now imagine that guiding you through this is a mysterious man in a black suit, who seems to know everything about you. For the exceptionally normal Jack Cooper, this is where he finds himself one Monday lunchtime and what will change his life forever:
"You could always open it you know."
Thus far, Jack Cooper could say, without doubt, that his life had been pretty average. That is, until he saw the door.
It was a door. A simple door. No wall, no sign, no explanation, just a door. Given the angle of the sunlight, Jack could almost swear that it was glowing.
If only that was all there was.
But then there was the Man.
The Man in the Black Suit.
"Brannagan."
The man who seems to know Jack's entire life, every detail of him.
The man who encourages Jack to open the door.
And there, behind the door - was Jack Cooper.
Jack Cooper, eating a sandwich and starring straight through Jack Cooper looking through the door.
"This is the present. This is today, at precisely Three Thirty Two PM on April 14th, 2014, right here, right now, in compressed time. This is your life, Cooper, had I never spoken to you. This is your redemption."
This was how Jack Cooper's life changed forever.
This is the story of how Jack Cooper met The Doorman.
