Royal Flush Court

Royal Flush Court is a darkly funny, deeply human novel about what happens when a quiet cul-de-sac starts to fail, from the pipes up.When a sewage geyser erupts at Lot Seven, the neighbors of Royal Flush Court do what people always do when systems break: they argue, document, deny, and pretend it s someone else s problem. But when toilets flush on their own and the ground itself begins to hum, it becomes clear that the real emergency isn t plumbing, it s trust, shame, and the fear of being seen too clearly.At the center is Johnny Loo, a man with a body that never lies, even when everyone else does. As the neighborhood grapples with chronic illness, aging, invisible labor, and the quiet terror of needing help, Royal Flush Court becomes a story about dignity: who gets it, who doesn t, and what it costs to protect it.Absurd without cruelty, tender without sentimentality, and rich with surreal humor, this novel blends civic satire and family drama into a celebration of flawed community, unglamorous heroism, and the strange magic of showing up.This is Volume I of the Royal Flush Court series.
