The Applicant by Anthony Steyning
Spoiler:
How should we approach our own impending mortality…?
Accept it passively?
Bow to fate’s steadfast resolve magnanimously and without regrets?
Albert, an international businessman and traveller of a certain vintage, wishes nothing more than to be spared the infirmities and indignities of old age
What if there was another way? A means of turning the tables, of playing destiny at its own game?
Enter the beautiful Javanese sophisticate, Devi, the ‘Applicant’ in Albert’s cunning contract with his Maker.
Her task, should she accept it, is to terminate Albert’s seventy plus years on planet earth swiftly, professionally and when he least expects it.
A high octane cat and mouse game ensues, pursuer and pursued interlocked in a complex psychological battle of wits and wavering resolve.
As Albert’s friend and cerebral sparring partner, Casey begins to piece together the puzzle and is drawn into the fray.
The stakes rise once more, and an intricate triangle of deceit, betrayal, love and compassion is played out with devastating results.
