The Last Living Boy
An aspiring writer, Cass bravely moved to the city and now spends every night not writing, but carrying on with the seemly ridiculous task of finding love. Unfortunately, all the men she meets online seem conceded or vapid, or maybe it is she who is conceded and vapid and uninteresting. No, it can’t be her, she’s an artist, an intellectual. Still, despite Cass never wanting to get married, and hating the idea of partnership, she continues her pursuit. But, like many love stories, there’s a hitch. Cass is beginning to see things. Things one might see whilst on a bad trip, or a bad haunted house. Slowly at first, then everywhere she turns. The men she meets are turning into monsters.
