What's the market price for your soul? For Ethan, a broke college photographer, he's hoping it's at least enough to cover this semester's fees.
When he gets roped into a scheme by Titan-a fast-talking, probably-insane entrepreneur with a trust fund and zero impulse control-the job sounds simple: help save a failing ramen shop. But in Titan's world, "help" is a masterclass in deception. Their business plan involves fake customers, an actor-turned-apprentice, and a marketing strategy that's 90% delusion and 10% illegal flyers.
Suddenly, Ethan is part of a found family of beautiful disasters: a vengeful old chef who can't taste his own food, a cynical ex-pop star haunted by her past, and a pair of star-crossed cooks with a dangerous secret. Together, they're not just selling ramen; they're selling a story. The problem is, the lies get bigger, the debts get deeper, and the ramen is still... questionable.
This is a story that asks: What's the difference between the hustle and a heist? Between faking it 'til you make it and just being a fraud? In a world built on beautiful lies, what does it cost to find something real?

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33Complete
