The Jellyfish Effect

By Ufuk Özden

The Jellyfish Effect A Novella

Imitating death, at last, immortal art may be

Within a dark collective dream, Earth's population learns its fate. The planet will be harvested for carbon-swiftly lain to waste-while busses bound for nebulous infinity collect mankind. Predictably, this harbinger elicits global turbulence: a scrum for decent seats . . .

Meanwhile, a man with an anxious soul struggles to make sense of his dull existence. Stuck with shrinking parents and a hapless ghost, he takes it upon himself to venture beyond the tedium's peripheries. What, after all, is more dangerous than safety? Cycles beg to be broken.

Reaching out to a man he'd seen in an old smut film, he takes up residency on a desolate island. There, it's learned his latent friend is something of a 'suicide tourist'-one that visits vistas marked for imminent annihilation. Tending goats and drinking wine, the two discover something grand: man's final play is being planned and even has an open call. Just who would need a script when total mayhem proves the backdrop?

"Pints of humour. Heady stout. Euphoric. Dark. Delicious."
