Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult, is dictating his memoirs into the record of Flight 2039. The plane is on autopilot at 39,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Branson is alone on the flight; the plane is programmed to crash into the Australian Outback. Before the plane crashes, however, Branson will have recorded his transformation from an obedient Creedish child to an ultra-buffed, steroid- and collagen-packed media messiah.

Work Description

Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish death cult, has commandeered a Boeing 747, emptied of passengers, in order to tell his story to the plane’s black box before it crashes. Brought up by the repressive cult and, like all Creedish younger sons, hired out as a domestic servant, Tender finds himself suddenly famous when his fellow cult members all commit suicide. As media messiah, he ascends to the very top of the freak-show heap before finally and apocalyptically spiralling out of control.
