Meet Casimir “Miro” Silva. A seventeen year old orphan, Miro spends his days training as a mixed martial artist, and his nights dreaming of becoming a world champion. Pushing his body to the limits in training while scraping to get by on a meager income, his life is consumed by his obsession. Just a few months away from the biggest fight of his career, he now must face the single toughest opponent anyone has ever met inside a cage – an opponent that has turned his ambitious dreams to recurring nightmares.
Looming large before him is the question of his origin. Miro knows next to nothing about how he came into this world. How did his mother die? Who is his father? What’s the full story and who knows it? Can he track down clues long lost in the fog of history? The defining fight of his career dominates every second of his day, yet he finds himself increasingly obsessed and distracted from his training by a quest for the truth about himself. A truth that he must unearth before it destroys him. Who is he?
FEAR OF DREAMING is a blunt portrayal of a solitary young man facing up to the greatest challenges of life. Set in the year 2045, a dystopian age with muddled realities and drug-addled brains, the tale is a powerful journey into a future where the past is ever increasingly important. In this world, the question isn’t whether one’s dreams are worth dreaming. The question is, how does one cope when the day’s dreams become nightly terrors?
