Human

2014 | Fiction & Poetry

Are you really alive, or just existing? Zenith, an irritable cleaner from India, has been 'dead' ever since his Uncle Ryan mysteriously disappeared when he was a child. He's now 42 years old. The world is at the height of a global pandemic and his friend, Joy Irani, is missing. No one has seen him. It's all too familiar! But Zenith will stop at nothing to find him...After a sequence of odd occurrences, a series of anonymous text messages leads Zenith into a deserted village. Moments later, he finds himself on a boat heading away from the coast of India into the open ocean...Where is the boat heading? Will he ever find his friend? A week like no other...an unexpected destination. Human is a work of fantasy written in a diary format, taking place over one week. Milan Bakrania focuses on the notion that humanity was once an advanced race of technologically and spiritually advanced beings, but at the base of the tale is a storyline everyone will be able to relate to: a troubled man who doesn't know his purpose in the scheme of things.
