Anton‘s Bark - Two

Otto in Flames is being read to us by the real Otto Loser.
Chapter One is about the dream he is meant to have been born in.
The action begins in the UK, during the early hours of 17
February, 2019. The fictional Otto is on his way to Vienna. He
wants to be reunited with his estranged wife and children there.
Because this is a story Anton is writing, it is something the
real Otto can’t escape. But he can talk about it. Having read the
first chapter, the real Otto describes Anton’s attempts to write
Chapter Two. As the real Otto sees it, Anton believes Urania is
sending him inspired messages about his third novel, which leads
to the troubling question: Who is in charge of the writing,
anyway? As well as observations about Anton’s predicament, trying
to write  creatively in difficult circumstances, the real
Otto mentions the writer’s long suffering wife, Oksana. Early in
February 2019, shortly after Anton began drafting Otto in Flames,
Oksana decided to paint a portrait of her husband, which would
land the writer in the greatest quandary of his life.
