    About this ebook

    There are many things lost in translation from thought to pen to paper to keyboard to screen. I want you to feel me, and I you. Words are trivial in the grand scheme of things, only a means to convey what the author intends the reader to feel. But what does the reader feel? If intent and interpretation become two separate things, then what? How will you know my heart and I yours? Until you are able to step inside me and know exactly the train of thought and feel exactly as I breathe, read this in the meantime.

    Dav Santos

    Many things inspire poet and fiction writer Dav Santos. Chief among them are the visual and emotion of blackness, Oriental Asian food, Korean pop music, video gaming, and his personal struggles with epilepsy and diabetes. He'd taken up both bachelor's degrees in Information Technology and English Literature at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines and Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan respectively in his hometown of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. When he isn’t writing and working on new ideas for his books, Dav enjoys songwriting, singing and dancing, plus going "gg ez" on a couple of hard-stuck silver matches in League of Legends or chilling with friends on their relatively peaceful Minecraft server. I forgot to mention he loves the sound of rain at night, and the odd scent of dusk air as cars noisily honk on in a futile attempt to escape the rush hour.
