Jack And The Skyscraper

Jack Spriggins is a dreamer in a world of giants.

An inventor at heart, Jack holds his prototype—an energy-producing device—to his chest like a heartbeat. It is his catalyst for a brighter future, a tangible piece of faith crafted to save his mother from the suffocating poverty of their life. But when a giant of a man swindles him out of his life’s work for a mere three dollars, Jack’s hope is shattered.

Driven by a desperate need for justice and recognition, Jack finds himself at the foot of a monolith: a skyscraper that pierces the clouds. It is the giant’s lair, and it is here that Jack’s mechanical mind begins to re-wire everything he thought he knew.

While the corporate world classifies him as a mere "4"—a cog in the machine—Jack is on a path to becoming a "22," a Master Builder capable of turning ambitious dreams into reality. But survival in the tower requires more than just blueprints and chipboards; it demands human connection.

Through a labyrinth of sociophobia, harrowing chases, and painful self-realization, Jack must fight for his dignity. Will he be swallowed whole by the corporate beasts, or will he find the strength to transcend his circumstances?

Join Jack on a journey of invention, survival, and the high-stakes cost of chasing dreams. Welcome to Jack and the Skyscraper.
