Can I Disappear‪?‬ Alhan’s World

    • Personal Journals

After years causing mayhem online, Alhan has finally been triggered. By his dad.
The elder Gençay has crossed the line and committed an unforgivable sin: he asked Alhan to clean his room. But Alhan refuses to bow down to tyranny in all its forms and will not comply with the orders of his father (aka the Turkish Kim Jong-un) in whose house Alhan lives for no money. So Alhan is loading his Playstation into a knapsack, tying it to a stick, and running away from home until he receives a cast-iron guarantee that he is exempt from all domestic activity.
But is it that easy to fall off the map?
To find out if he can vanish without a trace, Alhan dials up human bloodhound Peter Bleksley to help plot his disappearance. Then he speaks to makeup’s answer to Leonardo Da Vinci Alexis Stone to build the perfect disguise. Finally he hollers SBS veteran Jason Fox who has been trained in how to hide in bushes.
