A sexually open-minded couple, Lester and Val, have recently moved into a stylish yet eerie
apartment building.

Val's curiosity is piqued when she starts to receive unusual messages and requests from an
anonymous messenger.

Lester is also cautiously intrigued, as Val starts to fulfill the requests.

A suspected sex club soon becomes media headlines when a former member disappears, and
the club is reported to have vacated its last premises.

As the messages persist, Lester and Val start to question whether the anonymous messenger is
connected to the clandestine club mentioned in the media, and if there is any link between him
or the club and the odd newcomers in the apartment next door.


Now for an Excerpt:

She walked over to the kitchen and stared out the windows. Everything was still. An uneasy

feeling came over her. She looked back at Lester’s door.

was he acting a bit strange lately

he did seem distracted

that night he seemed more excited than usual

wasn’t that a dream

She remembered the things he had said and she felt excited about the possibilities. There was

another party in a few weeks. They were also possibly going to meet with a couple Lester had

met online. But she felt dread about mixing her and Lester’s energy with others. She wasn’t sure

she needed to. She still found Lester compelling; his brooding mysterious presence, his body.

He took care of himself. And she wasn’t sure there were many men that could be with her as

intensely.

Her phone beeped. She looked down at it on the kitchen table. It wasn’t

often she received messages. She preferred it that way. She read the message.

‘the stencil’

It wasn’t from a contact. That was odd.

what stencil


She’d received her share of messages over the years. Notes pressed in her hand. Under her

windscreen wipers. Written on napkins in bars or on the back of business cards. But it was

usually just a phone number and a name. She then realised which stencil the message was

referring to.

did something just click in or out of place
