Episode 6
As the aftermath of the drink-fuelled night out becomes all too apparent, further horrors reveal themselves.
A starkly minimalist flat drives a writer to the edge in Will Wiles' darkly comic tale.
'Thanks so much for this; you're a real friend for helping me out. I don't feel comfortable leaving the flat for so long, not with the cats... You'll like it, it's a nice flat.'
When an unnamed writer finds himself entrusted with looking after a disturbingly perfect minimalist apartment for his friend, Oskar, he looks forward to a chance to write, relax and recuperate. But all too soon, and all too inevitably, things begin to go wrong. The flat is owned by his old university friend, Oskar, an avant-garde composer, best known for his piece, 'Variations on Tram Timetables' , who turns out to be quite the perfectionist...
Today: as the aftermath of the drink-fuelled night out becomes all too apparent, further horrors reveal themselves...
