Dream Chasers

It’s the future, and there’s a great divide in rainy Tokyo. Upper City separates itself from Lower City, where the streets are filthy and the people hungry for salvation, but life goes on, because in Tokyo, Upper City is the one in control. Dream Chasing is illegal in the Lower City parts. Only the elite, all in Upper City, may indulge in going into someone else’s dream. A Dream Chaser, a person with a strong imagination, has the ability to go into a dream and harvest energy from it. Dream Energy can be sold for profit. Peter Steel lives in a dystopian Lower City. He’s almost eighteen and is living the dream: cleaning Upper City’s drains. Despite his job and shelter, he has one thing to fall back onto: his passion for drawing. Peter also wants to be a Dream Chaser, but he’s a Lower City resident, and that means he’ll always be a nothing. But that all changes when his friend, Ohko – a cocaine snorting narcissist who hangs out with the wrong people – tells him something that will change his life forever. Peter soon learns that Dream Chasing isn’t all that; staying alive in the real world will be the hard part. Dystopian Scifi Series: Book 1 (approximately 70+ pages; science fiction, thriller)
