Renganaton: Bookiesode 2: Ups and downs

Psychological SciFi

Get up! This is your stop, Renganaton. Not the best place to live but hey, we don't get to make all of our life choices. It's a shabby place. Some might say it's a slum but others call it home and be mindful not to badmouth it in their faces. What's it known for, you ask? See those factories in the distance... yeah, this and low living standards... and Tabas. Have you ever heard about Tabas? Roof runners? All those kids doing crazy stunts, up there, above? No? Guess you'll hear soon enough. Well, speedy is stopping. Time for you to go. Good luck... you will need it.

Straight from yet another unsuccessful runaway attempt, Galdor lands straight back where he started. With his heavy handed father who likes to teach him life lessons with his fists. Step mother who likes to turn a blind eye to what is happening at her home and his mates... His Taba... and the lifestyle that comes with it. While running and jumping on the roofs, wild parties and occasional quickie with 'what was your name again?' sounds like a fun way to escape the depressing reality of Renganaton's teenager; he has other plans. He needs to as the darkness from his past starts to lay an ever growing shadow on his present life. But will he be able to escape, especially now when he suddenly discovers that the person he barely ever noticed becomes the center of his world.
