Danger Beyond The Yellow Gate

Danger, a young man who has a long history with the world's hardest trail ultramarathon, is competing in his fifth try at the 100-mile footrace. The strange experiences Danger has while running in the backwoods mimic the race lore told around the campfire. Danger has his race interrupted repeatedly by two prison guards as they hunt for an escaped convict on the loose out there during the competition. Interesting conversations ensue, from the mundane (Is French bread crust eatable?) to the philosophical (Is math an invention or a discovery?). These quirky characters seem so real to Danger, but are they imaginary or supernatural? And will Danger be able to finish the race with all these distractions?
