The Founding Mayor

Tales from Burrington, Book 2

By: Makitia Thompson

Narrated by: Michael Ojee-Jones

Before Burrington existed, there was Silas Glaston; a man of ambition, wealth, and unshakable certainty. Born into privilege, raised to command, and destined to leave his mark upon the land, Silas sees the world not as it is, but as it should be under his direction. From the gilded halls of his family estate to the polished deck of his ship, he charts a course for greatness, blind to the shadows gathering just beyond the horizon.

Narrated in his own voice, this chilling and intimate short story reveals the formative years of the man who would lay the foundation for a town and a legacy, that defies the natural order. Through arrogance, vision, and meticulous control, Silas prepares to set forth on a journey that will shape more than just streets and buildings; it will sow the seeds of mysteries yet to come.

A story of ambition and power, of foresight and foreboding, The Founding Mayor is the perfect companion to the Where Time Can’t Exist series, a glimpse into the origins of a man whose reach extends far beyond what he ever imagined.
