The Stowaway
The Stowaway is a full length fictional absurdist novel about a young boy, Theo, who finds himself aboard a Ship named Revenge, an enormous, rickety, lurching menace as big as a city, and one that holds the entire civilization of knowledge and art of the world, it having pirated and pillaged and grown so powerful that there is nothing left on land to plunder. It is a story of melancholy pirates and childlike dreams. It is a story about legacy, tradition, isolation, love, and destiny.

Kevin has no memory of his life before copywriting. It has been said that he arrived on Earth in a small altoids tin, along with a receipt for sungalasses. However, based on interviews, two weeks of archival research, and machine analysis of the scars and abrasions on his elbows and knees, it can be said with a confidence interval of 95% that before his current life he was for many millenia an amoeba, a wooden spoon, and then a teacup.
