A king without a kingdom. This is what the writer John Ronald Ruel Tolkien called his main character in The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn. A wanderer who leads people... This story is about a wanderer named Slava, whose life path turned out to be so non-trivial and inspiring that he is followed by dozens and hundreds of people from different countries of the world. Working as an ordinary security guard, one day he decided that he was capable of more. And he achieved impressive heights, not only in business, but also in diving and yachting. His way of thinking is baffling and fascinating at the same time. And by some strange coincidence, the sailing yacht he has dreamed of for years and bought in Thailand is proudly named ‘Aragorn’. But, did he find this boat or did she find him...? This story is about the formation of personality, travelling, business, yachting, friendship and... a dream. AWARDS:

In this simple Hitchcockian-inspired tale, Kate Elisabeth Meurer and Bobby Chris Kelley desperately search for their missing friend Jeremy Seneca Ruppert and accidentally trespass onto private property controlled by a hostile environmentalist, Lander David McElroy, who takes his love for quiet nature too far. Lander pretends to be a lost camper in need, and keeps popping up to "borrow" supplies, and even people, until Kate is alone. When she stumbles onto Lander's camp and discovers what he's doing to the people he "borrows," she tries to escape the forest but gets caught and knocked unconscious by Lander. Kate awakes to find herself tied to a platform on a tree twenty-five feet up in the air. A conniving girl, Selby Elina O'Connor is tied to a nearby tree. Selby tells Kate that Lander collects people and ties them to trees like decorations until they become one with nature and die. If they're quiet, they'll live longer. But if they get caught making sound, Lander will kill them quickly. Shelby proposes a terrible long-shot plan to escape. In Jack Lander's woods, the wrong people always get hurt.
