Exhumed 100 years after their penning, the Lost DMB Files will reinterpret the way you see the world, or the way it sees you.

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.

Sarah had dreamed of being accepted into Cambridge University for years. So, when that acceptance letter finally arrived, she was nothing but excited to be leaving home and starting the newest chapter in her life as a student. However student life was as far from living the dream as she could have imagined. An insurmountable work load, no social life to speak of and with barely a penny to her name Sarah grew desperate. So much so that a job offer from a local strip club seemed like her saving grace. The money they paid was good, but did it really out weigh the dingy club, anti-social hours and the clientele that gave Sarah the creeps? Well all save one man, he was nice, polite and well dressed; not at all like the others and he seemed to be rather fond of Sarah. She should have known he was the one to really be afraid of.
