Mischa Osborn spends her days as a ProWatcher—keeping distracted people on task and lonely ones accompanied—from her Brooklyn Mega Building, while eating Petri Meat Steax and working out with her favorite personal trainer, a straight-talking algorithm named Tory. Her carefully constructed, isolated existence is suddenly upended by a chance realspace encounter with a Highlight Reel celebrity. She takes to relentlessly watching Nic on Reel. As her Reel Watching spirals into an all-consuming obsession, and even realspace stalking, she takes increasingly desperate measures to be seen and valued, sucking others into her vortex of obsession until she completely loses control. Liza Monroy’s work has appeared in The NY Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, “O” Magazine, Marie Claire, Newsweek, Jane, Psychology Today, and many other publications.
