Studio apartment. Water and wheel included. Inquire within.
A man is crouched inside a pet cage in what looks like a department store, complete with hamster wheel, water bottle, and a tiny house he cannot stand up in. A well-dressed couple is browsing him the way you’d browse gerbils, leaning in, smiling, weighing the commitment. The price tag just says dollars, which is generous, because most landlords want first, last, and a credit check before they’d let you into a cage this nice. The retro ad styling is what sends it over the edge. Everyone is beaming. He’s beaming because this is the twelfth place he’s seen this month and it’s the one with a wheel.
