In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order. The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music.

"Very interesting concept of reality... Thought provoking.." "I have been turned to a whole new way of thinking because of you." "Like a seven course meal full of spice and illumination... One does not listen to a classical piece to get to its ending. No. It is the ride, the moment by moment...a genuine Masamune among stories." "It was both personable and philosophical. A rare breed of good story and thought provoking ideas... A virtual standing ovation would not be enough to encapsulate the absolute awe I have of you." "It's not a regular thing to find a piece of work that oozes sophistication and embodies literature and art." "The world Takatsu has created opens to the deeper awareness of another, the draw of another." - Mary L Tabor, Wattpad author, essayist, professor "Offers acute, almost painful observations of the minutiae of life, if life took place in a Murakami snow-globe." - IndieReader Insiders "Vapoury style that seems to hover off world at times...haunting and strange (which is good)...You're on to something different, striking." - B.W.

In the years after the Third World War, the world has finally met it's end. But even before impending destruction, humanity already sent it's last voyages to unknown lands. One of them, nicknamed " New Terra", for it's earthly like atmosphere and environment. Once they claimed New Terra, one of the first generations to set up a civilization in an unknown planet. But with it's power, came the Red Hands; renegade anarchists bent on rebellion. Humanity will yet face another enemy. With the new enemy threatening, came also the V-98 disease. This strain of viruses made humans turn into unknown monstrosities. The people dubbed them "reapers", because once one sees you, it will stop at nothing to take away your life. With nothing else to lose, the Human-Terran Republic, under the command of Kaiser Erich Rosek, they formed "The Order", the last of humanity's greatest hope to stop another war that might destroy the newly; and only home they had left. But will The Order triumph?

Birthdays are supposed to be filled with fun and games, and for a girl, her sixteenth is supposed to be one of the most special. But what happens when you receive a gift that you never wanted to get in the first place? For Emily Crawford, that's exactly what happened. It wasn't a nice gift, all wrapped up with a pretty bow with wrapping paper to tear off: it was something that made her life a living Hell. And perhaps the worst part is that she can't get rid of it. No gift exchanges, no store credit... Just the World's Worst Gift, which she'll be stuck with for the rest of her life. To make things even more complicated, Emily meets Ryan: a hot young guy that just moved to town and appears to have a thing for her, just like she does for him. What happens when her "gift" gets in the way, showing her something that she desperately wishes she never saw in the first place? Love is complicated enough without throwing supernatural bonds and powers into the mix, but in this case, Emily has no choice. Getting caught between a rock and a hard place is never fun, and in this case, it could be deadly... Thanks to JazzyXD for going ahead and making the cover and for giving me a base for the synopsis! Her help has been greatly appreciated.
