Seb has to face the same problems that any other twenty-one year old would: his unreliable friends, his job, an over-enthusiastic local traffic warden and talking to girls; the only difference being that Seb doesn t have long left to do it. Along the way, our narrator imparts his personal philosophies and witticisms and follows Seb as his impending extinction gives him the bravery he needs to confront his past, present, lack of future and his mother.
Set in Glasgow, circa now, SEB is a gritty, blow-by-blow account of the last days of a young man's existence.
Seb was just a normal twenty one year old, a bloke you would just pass in the street, a bloke that just seemed to exist. He couldn't change the world, cure cancer, be a pop star or marry a princess, but who could? He is like me and like you. Everything we ever wanted to do, Seb would try it. Life is for having fun why not, Seb ditched that soulless part of him that we all have. You know that part of everyone which is held in out of politeness, that part of you that looks at the floor in a subway train instead of talking to the person beside you, or turns a blind eye to the homeless dude outside the shops. We don't need to love each other but let's make this short time we have on this revolving rock as enjoyable as possible. So here's to Seb, who will release your soul and encourage you to talk to your neighbour, even if they are old tossers and smell of piss.
