Two lives built on the edge of collapse. One shared road home.
Daniel is a Manhattan executive suffocating in the sterile, air-conditioned silence of his own success. Resty is a structural engineer in Chicago, trading his dignity for a paycheck in a freezing warehouse. They live on opposite sides of the world, chasing the same hollow dream of "having it all."
When burnout shatters their illusions, both men find themselves drawn back to the chaotic, vibrant heat of the Philippines. Through a chance encounter in a mountain town, two strangers discover that their paths are mirrors of one another-one running from a life of emptiness, the other running toward a life of meaning.
A Tale of Two Dreams is a stirring, contemporary journey about the high cost of ambition, the struggle to reclaim one's identity, and the radical realization that the most difficult structures to build are the ones that finally bring us home.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Berns Pen writes literary and speculative fiction that explores belief, power, and the fragile line between faith and control.
His stories dive into philosophical questions about morality, identity, and systems that shape human behavior-often placing ordinary people inside extraordinary moral dilemmas.
Blending symbolism, realism, and speculative thought, his work speaks to readers who enjoy fiction that challenges assumptions rather than offering easy answers.
When not writing, he explores ideas at the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and human resilience.
