How To Drag A Body
Anthony wakes up in an infinite stairwell with no memory, a disembodied voice, and a corpse. Promised The Answer to all of life's questions, he agrees-begrudgingly-to drag the body to the top, confront his past, fall in love, and not die trying. A surreal black comedy (loosely) based on a true story about finding joy in the absurd shit pile of your own life.
