Synopsis
The post-apocalyptic world has changed. Colors have changed.
The skies are now red, and the seas fandango pink.
There are those who’ve acquired skills as “squinters”. By narrowing their
eyes, they can see people in different colors—colors by which they can define
their mood.
Senlin was born a squinter. A child of the foster
system, the lack of love has left him
with casual views on sex.
When Sicong recruits him into SQX, a
squinter organization, Senlin wants nothing more than to jump his bones, but
Sicong’s detachment makes Senlin believe his feelings aren’t reciprocated.
Senlin and Sicong’s relationship begins to
grow as they undertake missions together.
That is, until an enemy of SQX turns his
attention upon them.

Excerpt
SIC HELD MY head in his lap. I looked up and
saw, against the backdrop of the cardinal red sky, his angular face looking
down at me. We were secluded by teal-colored woods around us. It was chaotic,
for the forest was on fire, its color black and blue blending with red and
teal. Despite the turmoil and the utter pain in my chest, I felt peaceful, as
if all sounds had been erased except my shallow breathing.
“Don’t fall asleep, Sen,” he said to me, both
commanding and begging. “Don’t.”
I lifted a corner of my mouth. I was too
tired to talk.
Amidst all the distractions, I saw Sic squint
his right eye. A subtle one; one he probably thought I wouldn’t notice.
I also squinted. Sic turned lime green when I
did that, all over. I smiled because it was lime instead of tangerine or blue.
I was sure I appeared the same to him.
It was a good day, regardless of the pain in
my chest.
