A raw, razor-sharp modern novella for the exhausted working class of 2026.

Are you completely done with glossy self-help books and toxic social media influencers yapping about their optimized morning routines? Then welcome to Clifford Kunnell's reality.
Cliff is forty, fiercely cynical, and stands behind the sterile marble counter of a predatory downtown hotel, trading his vertebrae for pennies while his boots leak freezing winter slush. He handles verbuggte reservation systems, screaming guests, and arrogant tyrants like Mr. Müller, hiding behind a firewall of synthetic politeness just to survive the daily madness before his first coffee.

His only comfort is a warm, cozy apartment full of cat highways ruled by a massive, green-eyed tyrant named Murphy and a hyperactive Bengal street warrior named Oscar. The only other honest soul left in the entire concrete hive is Maya. She runs the heavy industrial kitchen down in the hotel's restaurant backend, sliding him unlit cigarettes and tracking the incoming corporate execution orders before they ever hit the front desk.

No poetic safety nets, no corporate compliance, and absolutely zero illusions. Just raw self-irony, an overflowing ashtray, a thick white envelope full of dangerous truth hidden next to a ruined ribcage, and a bonus collection of 20 gritty, atmospheric poems about work, loneliness, silence, and cats.

If you've ever felt the absolute breaking point of modern customer service, this book is for you. If you think the world owes you a happy ending, leave it on the shelf.

Take It Or Leave It.
