    About this ebook

    In each of these stories, not everything is what it seems; and this may only prove to create more obstacles in the long run. Spencer, the epitome of social awkwardness, meets his polar opposite. Norman, a man with a deadbeat mom, deals with a subtle yet deadly affliction. Recia, an assassin, is thrown into a mission that could cause an entire empire to crumble. As shady as a few of these characters are, they crave their own sort of validation--just like us. How they try to find it, though... Well, some of their tactics are a little out of the ordinary.
