The Most Oddly Soothing and Enjoyable Short Stories Ever

Years ago I came upon a website containing several short stories, short stories that centered around singer and songwriter Roy Orbison being wrapped entirely in clingfilm.
That was the subject, the goal, the point of every story: a man with a large collection of clingfilm wraps Roy Orbison in clingfilm.
 
It was strange, the stories possessed a certain... mesmerizing quality, a quality that I remember to this day and occasionally attempt to emulate in my own writing. You might say to yourself: "ha! what a strange and silly thing to write about... wrapping a man in clingfilm, how is that entertaining?". And... I would no doubt have agreed with you.
...but then I read the short stories myself and it was... strange. It was calming, in a way. I was drawn in to the narrative and --strangely --I almost felt like I... related. I became enamored myself with the idea of wrapping an individual that I admire, be he Roy Orbison or Jeff Bridges, in clingfilm. Then patiently watching him, making small talk, enjoying the moment.
 
The first short story is here, I highly recommend you take the time to read it:

 Truly, read the story. It's difficult to describe but... it's calming. Endearing in a way, relate-able... everything is okay.
 
For those who prefer their stories to be interactive, there is also the Roy Orbison Wrapped in Clingfilm Adventure Game 
 
Read, play, and become engrossed in the state of mind it puts you in. The state of mind of wrapping loved ones and those you admire in clingfilm.
