He is a famous author, a man who has penned best sellers. He is a man with a wife and a safe, sedate life. Then, what drives his inner sorrow? What fuels his hidden frustration? Perhaps the answers start with the strange one-worded statements other people keep making at him. Maybe the truth lies in the reason why he is so extraordinarily afraid of answering those statements the wrong way. In this modern world, he is beyond the modern man and understands more than the average person. He is able to communicate better than the best orator, the most talented blogger, or the greatest novelist. Yet, all his thoughts are imprisoned within him because of the fear they can cause, until the man meets two strange twin girls. What is the twin girls' secret? How does the writer find out about it? How will these girls prove to be either his salvation or his greatest doom? In a world that cannot understand him, does he finally have a chance to be understood? Witness the perils of a life where evolution and linguistics combine, where hopes can be forged and disappointed simply by using a sentence, where nothing may be "better than syntax", not even a kiss from someone you are supposed to love
