See You at the Bottom✔️
Growing up, TJ Detweiler always had grandiose visions for himself, his career, his life. Only, as the years went by and time edged inevitably forward, his visions shrank as he became more aware of what was likely and what was ridiculous.

His hopes, his dreams, his aspirations: he's traded them all in to walk the path of responsibility and mediocrity. At twenty four, he's an office drone living in a two bedroom apartment with, of all people, Guru Kid, now known only as a buttoned-down drone named James, in another city, far from his friends, his family, and his old life. A desperate if cryptic email from Spinelli triggers a deep fracture in his soul.
