The next, a freak accident dragged me backward through time into the freezing, unforgiving slums of the Joseon Dynasty. I was starving, alone, and staring death in the face when I found it—a mysterious, dusty pot tucked away in a dark cave. The catch? It duplicates anything I put inside, no matter the size, weight, or value... except money. Now, I don't have a corporate bank account or family connections anymore, but I do have this pot, and I have my 21st-century brain.

It's time to rewrite my fate. But in a world ruled by greed, corruption, and power, survival won’t come easy. Rival merchants, ruthless officials, and looming war stand in his way. Armed with his wits and his pot, Seo-joon will rewrite his fate.

Adult concept dealing with moral ethics and tradition. It is aimed at hitting core beliefs and developing relationships. Unfortunately, there is no book jacket as of yet; however, I can offer this: Picture a large ranch remodeled to house mental patients who were given insulin-injected therapy. It also involves mortuary cannibalism and Kuru. As of yet, Soup Kitchen is not finished, so it will be entered in sectional increments. I hope that you will find this a thought-provoking concept. The story's aim is to try to get you, dear reader, to wonder when does what one would consider morally unethical gets lost in the beauty of tradition...? Please know, that this project was started a few years ago. Page wise, it's about 115 of a Word document with a word count close to 80,000. I look forward to insight as it gets a critical go-over by me. Bwa, ha, ha... I apologize for the vague description. It's easier for me to just ask that one reads it, and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully yours, -Jenn :)
