SQUATTING

A work in progress by Andrew Mapperley

Up on the 7th floor of an East End tower block, above the homeless and the rubbish, Archie, Jan and Rez do the only thing anyone can do these days: try to survive. Driven to the safety of London after their hometown was washed away in the great floods, Archie and Jay find refuge in the volatile Rez and his abandoned skyscraper. Welcomed in at gunpoint, the boys find the life that was promised to them has been painfully swept away and they must quickly adapt to the life of squatting in 2049. But when the water is rising which will break first: the dam or their spirits?
