Description

In a near-future world where ordinary routines are tightly controlled, a young paperboy discovers that delivering the day’s news is more than a job—it’s a gateway to secrets that powerful people would rather keep buried. As he navigates shifting loyalties and escalating dangers, he must decide what truth is worth when every choice has consequences. With brisk pacing and a sharp, street-level perspective, the story blends coming-of-age tension with themes of surveillance, media manipulation, and the moral cost of complicity. Vince Vawter’s distinctive voice brings urgency and empathy to a suspenseful, thought-provoking tale about agency in a system designed to limit it.
