Pay as You Go

Description

Newcomer Slide arrived in the bustling city of Polis, visions of penthouses and panoramic views dancing in his head. Reality, however, had other plans. He finds himself cramped in a stifling apartment, sharing space with a reclusive roommate and another who has an eccentric passion for keeping the entire place lit with forty-seven lamps. As a barber with mysterious origins, Slide isn't one to settle. Determined to upgrade his living conditions, he plunges headfirst into the vast, dizzying maze of Polis. From dodgy temporary accommodations to the heart of the city's quirkiest districts, Slide's pursuit of a dream home is rife with unexpected turns and colorful characters. Yet as he navigates the chaos, Slide learns that the city demands more than just a keen eye for real estate. The pursuit of a home turns into a journey of grit, resilience, and maybe even a redefinition of what "home" truly means. With "Pay As You Go", Eskor David Johnson paints a whimsical portrait of urban life, blending humor with a touch of the surreal. This captivating tale is more than just a quest for an apartment—it's a reflection on the universal search for belonging. And as Johnson so brilliantly reveals, sometimes, the journey is more rewarding than the destination.
