THE TRAGIC FATE OF JACK FUNNYBONE
​
​
BOOK 3 of the JACK FUNNYBONE/FATE trilogy
BRIEF SYNOPSIS
JACK FUNNYBONE laments that he is again alone: his comedienne boarder and would-be lover, JO KING has been taken by a shark and his plans of forging a career in comedy writing and earning an income are in disarray.
Jack derides fate for not only being responsible for the premature deaths of his parents and uncle and aunt, but for also thwarting his prospects of working and loving again by taking away his health, job and would-be lover.
Jack receives a phone call from his ex-girlfriend, JANE. She is searching for a place to rent. Jack, in need of money and in the hope of renewing his relationship, agrees to take her in as a boarder.
Jack meets with his copywriter cousin (SOPHIE FUNNYBONE) and showcases his copywriting talent. Impressed, she puts forward a proposal that will see him obtain work as a copywriter. Jack, realizing that lady luck is once again smiling, entertains the idea of combining comedy writing with freelance copywriting.
FATE denounces Jack of being unable to love and blames him for the deaths of his uncle, aunt and Jo King.
Fate, despite the protestations of THE ABSTRACT FORCES and CONCEPTS, puts in place a plan to kill Jack.
Jack, with his health improving and on the cusp of realizing his ambitions and loving again, is severely injured in a car accident on the same road on which his parents were killed: Fate, in a tragic parallel, has once again intervened.
​
Fate accuses Jack of a litany of crimes including murder, mockery and misogyny. A trial involving Fate, DEATH and the abstract forces and concepts is held on the etheric plane to determine the final fate of our hero.
