Life is made up of the moments we'll look back on. From the moment that Dave first saw Ash, he knew that she was special. Although the ideas of Fate and soul mates had never meant much to him, he still felt like Ash could be 'the One'. But this belief was followed by some tougher wisdom: relationships take effort, love must be built, and sometimes - just maybe - couples can be incompatible. This off-beat teen romance examines our reactions to the moments that shape our lives, and the emotions that surround them. It reminds us that real life doesn't start once you get a job - every day of our lives is a brush stroke in the bigger picture. And for Dave, some brush strokes painted clearer lines than others.

A madman. A sarcastic teen. Two people thrown into a situation they never dreamed of. One must prevail. Captain Jackhammer. A man of many chains. He's a recently divorced, insanely strong madman. "Armed" with a jackhammer, he finds a sort of peace killing people. But one day, he hears of a vigilante about town. He makes it his mission to tear apart the life of The Ghost. Dragging along his assistant, Shotgun Wizard, he kills to survive in a world of people who are against him. John Boxal. A kid trying to lay low in a world of powers and popularity. A villain tries killing innocent people just to find joy. John can't take it. Armed with his new, absurd powers, the media dubs this hero The Ghost. But, out of spite and whimsy, John calls himself Ping Pong Fella. His paddle and wit, plus a friend or two, are all he has to defeat Captain Jackhammer. Paddle and Hammer. Brain and Brawn. Ping Pong Fella and Captain Jackhammer. And soon enough... Winner and Loser. "Just and average day. Robberies, a cold front coming in, war breaking out in some country, jackhammer killing, president gave a speech- wait, did that say it was gonna be cold?" "And he felt this sense... a sense that he hadn't felt before. He realized that he needed to help." "John paced around his room a few times, sometimes posing in the mirror to see if he looked like a superhero. He did not." "John looked down at his paddle. Yeah, it was burned and only had rubber on one side, but there weren't a lot of ping pong paddles that shot lasers and gave people superpowers."

It's seven past five, and it's been just like any other Thursday. Amongst the busy roads and well traveled sidewalks, the office workers make their mass exodus from the 'dungeons that haunt their dreams'- and onto these packed city streets. While most get to enjoy their allotted freedom, not all 9-to-5'ers receive the same luxury. Those poor, and pathetic, few are kept late in order to cover someone's ass, albeit their own or anothers. Yet, that's not always the case. There is always one or two that wait for the rush to finish, that are lackadaisical in their speed and unconcerned with their time at the end of the day. There is always a straggler. In this experimental LN series, you, the reader, are as much of an active participant as the characters there within. Have fun unraveling it's mysteries and many details! In this Slice-of-Life Mystery, mundanity is rarely ever an isolated occurrence. The spectacular come at a cost. And, everything else in-between, blends into anew. But, who are you?
