The dome
Matter, stars, life and every creature still bound. It is the prison, and from the inside it looks like a home.
The universe of The Jailer
MESIAS
A creator who gets bored. Creatures watching the world from their bunker. And a few who try to let go of every chain.
The universe
The play and its margins
Everything you know lives inside a dome. Around it stretches the margin of the Domogs. And above it, someone is watching.
The bunker
Each person watches the world from a guard post: a searchlight that only points outward, a loudspeaker, a judge's gavel and pipes through which everything arrives distorted.
The creator
He makes creatures in conflict because that is how they entertain him, and he watches them through his goggles like someone watching a show.
Hedomogs
Every religion and everything sold to you as goodness: gardens, temples, music, a purpose. They do not attack. They invite.
Demorgs
The demons of every religion. They mistake the attention the creator gives humans for love, and they never forgive it. They hunt whoever tries to leave.
Murdogs
Those who let go of the five prisons: body, story, family, morals and name. They cross the margin without getting hooked again.
The Threshold
A cliff above a void of antimatter. Whoever jumps disappears, and an aurora is left in the sky.
The bunker
“From the inside, the prison looks like a home.”
Behind every pair of eyes there is a throne, a searchlight and a loudspeaker. From there one gives opinions, advice and verdicts, and the world always arrives through the same frame. The journey takes you inside one.

Who crosses the story
Sophia's search, Eli's archive, the city of power and the theater where Nerio explains the edge.
Sophia
A biotech analyst. One night her question changes direction and leads her to a manuscript in China.

Victor Vale
Benefactor, donor, a refined and patient predator. A face that can burn without the whole house catching fire.

The novel
The Jailer
A girl draws flowers while, somewhere in the house, a door closes. Years later that same girl wakes at three in the morning with a question that has no name, and follows it to a manuscript that explains why the world was made this way.
“I made them like this because this way they are entertaining.”
