Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

When seventeen year-old Runner was sentenced to death for stealing a loaf of bread in MegaCity One, his dreams were literally at an end. But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

His extraordinarily life was an open book to everyone. Well, normal is quiet boring. He was going to die, and the continuous hunt was about to have its denouement. This is his, his and his story. Living his life as a regular teenager, a man seemed to encounter lots of unexplainable phenomena over his entire existence. As a loving son, a two-timer boyfriend and a compatible brother to Jenny and James, he thought life with them was perfectly imperfect. Banging his head with recurring migraine, the memorabilia of his unpleasant past was messing his present and surviving the unwinnable battle against death for the nth time was a gift from him. He was living immortal. Continuing the struggle, an unexpected guest will appear on him and will reveal the hidden secret that everyone has, the naked truth concealed with convincing lies. Who was he? Why was he monitoring him? What does he want? As the unbearable reality was about to be fixed and settled, time is the greatest enemy. They were running out of provisional probabilities. Gathering the topsy-turvy pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and connecting the interrelated points making a multidimensional equation, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Help me. -Larry
