Nino Cipri

A novella.

Find out if five Dereks are better than one in the sequel to Finna, the surrealist world-hopping adventure that was one of the most anticipated novellas of Winter 2020.

After two of his coworkers abandoned Litenvärld to seek better lives in other dimensions, Derek is now the lowest-ranking employee of his branch of the big-box furniture chain. He wouldn’t mind — he knows he’s also the most loyal — but calling in sick the day those workers vanished through a wormhole has corporate on his back. Derek is offered a chance at redemption: an overnight shift before the big annual blow-out sale, the most volatile night of the year. The result? A whole team of Dereks show up from other universes, ready to wreck shop and build a community more caring than the Litenvärld corporate hell.
