The Big Sleep Los Angeles Noir

"Football isn't just a game"—it's life. For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows. But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection. Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star? David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams. Disclaimer: This work is a work of fiction.

In the beginning, God created angels to serve with loyalty and demons to embody freedom. But this balance faltered as demons descended into chaos, and angels became emotionless tools. To unite these extremes, God created humanity, granting them both loyalty and freedom. To guide them, He chose two beings: Elpis, a wingless angel reborn as a mortal, and Lilith, the queen of Luxuria, a kingdom ruled by lust. Stripped of his wings, Elpis must protect the prophecy of the seven virtues—angelic powers destined to awaken in humans—and battle the deadly sins threatening to corrupt them. In Luxuria, Lilith commands a kingdom of temptation while hiding her own struggle with the legacy of sin. When Elpis encounters Seraphina, a woman tied to both his past and Lilith’s world, his mission becomes deeply personal. As virtues awaken and sins rise, Elpis must navigate a fractured world, questioning the nature of loyalty, freedom, and redemption. Torn between duty and the complexities of mortal emotion, Elpis faces a choice: follow God’s plan or forge a new destiny for humanity. In a battle where the lines between light and darkness blur, the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.
