Synopsis
Doom  and  gloom  are  on  the  way.  The  Y2K  apocalypse  can’t  be  stopped.  Abbie’s  older  brother  issues  him  the  ultimate  challenge  before  it  goes  down:  beat  the  infamous  level  256  in  PacMan  and  no  getting  up  from  the  couch  until  he  does  so.  Abbie’s  survival  story  begins  here;  inside  a  rotting  living  room  with no  food  or  water,  and  an evolving  door  of  numbnut  friends  and  acquaintances.  It’s  THE  EXTERMINATING  ANGEL  by  way  of  SLACKER.
