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. [Dystopia, Magical Realism, Philosophy, Literary] #1 Sci-Fi, Spiritual; #Wattys2014 Award Winner; Featured on Wattpad, IndieReader, @DIGonUSA "Struck me to the very core of my being." "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. Powe, York University English Professor, award-winning author, poet, philosopher http://EspressoLove.tk

**Cover done by Crimson_Graves ** Angels stay in Heaven, and demons in Hell. Ideally, the balance between good and evil would be easily upheld with every being keeping each other in check. However, what happens when an ultimately confused and lost hybrid loses the ambition and morals he has always worked towards? Eekainine had never lived an easy life as a hybrid. In a society that separated the ideals of the pure and good angels, and the mischievous, power seeking, evil demons, he was always expected to choose one side or the other. For the majority of his life, Eekainine had stuck with the community he was born into and grew to love more than anything. Over the many years, he managed to climb the ranks among the angels and gain the highest level of respect within the community. To live life to the fullest for the greater good was never a doubt. However, Eekainine found himself questioning his own morals more often than he'd like to admit. With his own curiosity and the livelihood of his newborn daughter on the line, the hybrid knew he only had a limited amount of time to find some answers and come up with a solution for a better lifestyle where they would not be discriminated for having both species in their genes. The initial search for answers began as innocently as was intended, but when ancient beliefs and traditions are challenged, being stuck in the middle of an eternal war of demons and angels, good and evil, Eekainine is forced to do what he feared the most - choose between letting his daughter suffer the same sort of life he had, or fully embracing the darkness in his soul and separate himself from his family to give them the best life possible.

An extremely dangerous file. An awkward teenager (who'd rather think of himself as the badboy of nerds). A converted, somewhat nice criminal. And an illegal medical lab. All is not what it seems when seventeen-year-old Butch breaks himself out of the local police station, making a somewhat daring run for it with his criminal file. There's just one tiny problem...he grabbed the wrong file and now the police are hunting him down. On a single chance encounter with his estranged brother Jack, who went awol when he was twelve, Butch never expected his luck to turn so horribly wrong. As the dynamically-misconstructed duo venture off in a game of Dodging Death across the countyside, Butch never expected his plans to return the stolen file to go so terribly wrong... Just what did he get himself into? A journey for all those who understand what being an awkward teenager with some wrongs to right is like. _____________________________________ {Completed} *Featured on the following Wattpad official profiles:* - Secret Treasures: The World is a Big Place (YA) - New Adult: It's All Because of the Hormones (Teen Fiction) - Adventure: The Adrenaline Rush - Humor: Hitting the Fun Hard Warning: This story does contain mild-moderate course language, some graphic violence and a lot of sarcasm as a means to portray characters.
