About this ebook
San Meng is a simple man. A retired veteran who works the mines to provide for his family and takes each day one at a time. So why does he continue to have dreams of a non-existent enemy threatening his family? Dreams that are whispered into his mind by a him that never existed? A chilling short-story that looks at mankind's tendency to dehumanize even what it makes as human.
