Zero expenses

Fooling around almost for a week.
Creativity doesn’t count much when you’re unwilling to work.
My pixels look as empty as my life at this time.
Instead of recycling all the same, I’ll share what exactly was up to lately.
Two “literary” priorities set, but most notes had been taken for:

“Zero expenses”
Shaped two months ago, during some worrying insomnias but never actually focused. Probably because it looks like a big challenge and clarity is required.
If ever completed, expect it to be large enough.
The story is not very interesting. Maybe one of the flattest scenarios I ever came up.
Handucap is a guy close to his mid twenties who has never had one real job in his life. He managed to build his unique and quite eccentric world. Isolated in his rented attic, Handy spent most of his day “working” online. In a strange but effective way, he was living large. Until one day…
Blinded by his fake standards, he never realized that everything around him was turning bad. When he couldn’t even fool himself, it was vital to return (discover) the bitterness of the “real world”. With no actual income, Handy degraded most and was desperate for a job. Tried restaurant delivery, dishwashing and ground maintenance. Nothing lasted more than a week. He looked high and dry since his “imaginary” internet friends were too far to be of any value.
Meanwhile he noticed lots of other look-a-like individuals seeking exactly the same. Dozens of custom-built worlds were brought to reality due to an extensive economic crisis. Soon, those cases were separated from the ordinary unemployed and formed a group. Four lads and a beauty, a variety of personal failure were meeting at the same places. Any job effort was unsuccessful. To reduce their intolerable expenses, they all moved to Handy’s attic and share the rent.
Despite the initial lifestyle shock and taken failure for granted, they strategically reorganized their basics. Instead of sticking to numerous attempts with low chances, they decided to aim towards utopia.
Zero expenses.
After few steps and incidents it seemed that they’ve made it.
While fighting for that ideal stage, Handy fall in love with the beauty in a mutual way. One of the lads locked up in jail for debt while another was attempted suicide while he couldn’t escape mind traps.
…other than that… the crisis was over and somehow managed to move on!
Greek retro movies usually end up with a wedding. Why not then?

Told you before, it’s completely flat and predictable.
My goal is different.
It’s not about highlighting another social cult.
Nor providing misery to the masses.
There is only one great challenge.
The story aims those who feel close or even live in such dead ends.
It’s not an autobiography of any kind although I’ve gained much experience on that recently. My purpose is to remove all that bitterness, which often leads to dead ends.
Mocking a drama into comedy.
Placing rotten lines the wrong way and fitting them where they usually don’t.
Often, I maintain a large story for a long period of time and working at slow pace between all other.
Until now I did it for “Fedias” while I think it’s time to move “Zero Expenses” to the background.
I guess this one looks darker but I’m sure that in dead periods like this one can gradually be transformed into the same exaggerated sense of humor.
Time will tell.

Just remember that money talks and bullshit walks in unlimited variations!
