The Invisible Roommate

Timothy Janovsky

Gerard, the youngest member of a famous pop band, flees to a remote island in the Chesapeake Bay to escape the pressures of fame, only to discover his rented room is already occupied by Emory, a scientist who accidentally made himself invisible. Forced to share the space and keep each other's secrets, the two slowly form an unlikely bond as autumn settles over the island. The story is a gentle, gothic-tinged riff on H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man, exploring themes of self-worth, neurodivergence, and found family alongside the central romance.
