The Alien Bathroom Was Easier to Find (Graphic Novel)

The coffee is always exactly the right temperature. The weather is always pleasant with a chance of pleasant. And Marcus has never, as far as he can remember, actually left the building.

All he wanted was a bathroom. What he found was a door that felt like a stage prop, a backstage corridor where footsteps make no sound, a toilet built for someone much taller, and a sink with five mysterious knobs. Behind the walls of his perfect office, tired alien administrators are keeping three hundred humans politely asleep, and the walls only stay solid as long as everyone believes in them.

With his friend Harry and Ana, the woman from his dreams who has been trying to wake him for a very long time, Marcus discovers that the props are lying, fear only works if you agree to it, and freedom begins with something as simple as pushing on a wall.

A dry, funny and surprisingly moving science-fiction story about bureaucracy, captivity and the courage to build something better.
