Flappers & Fiction

Lumous Cox is a man so painfully shy he eats his lunch on a basement packing crate, only truly coming alive when he vanishes into the crowd at the Tremont Theater. But one evening, it isn’t the actors on stage who capture his imagination, but a whispered conversation in the seat next to him regarding the appendicula vermiformis. Convinced a stray apple seed has sealed his fate, this solitary clerk trades his playbills for medical texts. It is a peculiar, poignant tale about the terrifying power of suggestion and how a simple idea can prove far more dangerous than any physical ailment.
