An Aspiration To Lie Flat

Terrence Winkworth never asked to be a social media sensation. In fact, he asked very specifically not to be one. Fate, in the form of a corporate sweepstakes, had other plans. Now, thanks to an ill-advised contest win, a meddling CEO, and his father's uncanny ability to monetize anything with a pulse, Terrence finds himself the unwitting star of an online livestream he can't turn off. His house is full of influencers. His every move is scrutinized by an audience that worships his complete lack of charisma. His personal assistant might be a double agent. His bodyguard refuses to let him flee. And worst of all, there's a bus full of clout-chasing teenagers rolling up to his property at this very moment.

All Terrence wants is to disappear quietly into obscurity. But when he finally gets a chance to escape, he lands himself in an even bigger mess.

Terrence is left with only one option: survive.
