The Tragedy Script

Twenty-four-year-old Max Mason thought his life was mundane, until a nondescript package arrived at his door containing a book titled "The Tragic Life of Max Mason." It read like a cruel prank—a detailed biography chronicling his descent from mediocrity into absolute ruin, featuring bankruptcy, a sham marriage to a woman carrying another man's child, and a lonely death from cancer.

Max scoffed at the absurdity, until the pages revealed secrets even his best friends didn't know, like his humiliating crush on a college tutor. The horror truly set in the next morning at a local diner when a stranger in a sharp suit sat down next to him. The man introduced himself as Tony and offered the exact investment advice the book claimed would destroy Max's financial future.
