Mosquito State

In a peculiar confluence of Wall Street wizardry and entomological intrigue, Richard Boca (character name not provided) has crafted an algorithmic marvel known as the "Honeybee" model, which he believes will yield unprecedented financial rewards. His fixation on flying insects, particularly bees, has led to a profound understanding of their behavior, allowing him to predict market fluctuations with uncanny accuracy. However, following a dream that seems to hold secrets of its own, Richard becomes consumed by the notion of developing an innovative analytical tool inspired by the swarms of mosquitoes.

It is within this context that he meets Lena (actress not provided), a captivating young woman who sustains her academic pursuits through a stint at a local wine bar. As their acquaintance blossoms, Richard invites her to his luxurious penthouse apartment, boasting a breathtaking view of Central Park. Yet, his otherwise refined abode has been taken over by an uninvited guest: swarms of mosquitoes that seem to have developed a taste for human flesh.

As the days pass, Richard's obsession with these tiny terrors reaches new heights, his body becoming a veritable smorgasbord for the insects. His colleagues at work are initially amused by his insect-ridden appearance, but soon grow concerned as his warnings of market instability fall on deaf ears. Faced with the prospect of chaos unfolding in the financial markets, Richard retreats to his apartment, where he begins to surrender his own body to the insatiable appetites of the mosquitoes.
