Lurkers

Read Lurkers Storyline:

A novelist walks into a restaurant.
Badumdum.
Armed with a laptop, a mobilephone, a pack of cigarettes, a
coffeechick, and a state of mind hovering between pure apathy and utter
contempt, he spends the hours from dusk until dawn on a summer night
trying to write a book about an alien invasion, an actual invasion of
his privacy by every selfimportant twerp in the building
notwithstanding.
Written from his perspective, coloured by his own interpretations, the
fictional autobiography remains mired in truth, documenting the
unfortunate epidemic of drunks and joiners lamented by lurkers the world
over, his reactions and strategies to be left the hell alone
ameliorating him as the antihero deigning to counterattack the forces of
dimness foolishly appointing themselves entitlement to respect and
adoration, all while George—a paranoid schizophrenic in the
corner—counts down to the end of the world at dawn: a premise insane,
yet, in the strictest sense, not necessarily inaccurate.
