The summer has long since begun. I will celebrate its arrival with some entries. The first will be my initial draft of a short story. It was concieved partially in my bed as I awoke this morning. Although I have used some subject matter from my life as a basis for this story and am quite certain that it is a manifestation of certain feelings I have toward that subject matter, I want to emphasize that it is purely fiction and was not created with any intention of malice.
The story is meant to exude some of the more abominable aspects masculinity and poke fun at them while, at the same time, illuminating the need to recognize them. Both the subject and the narrator are committed to ridiculous and even dangerous mentalities that, while comical, are the cause of abhorrent neglect and misunderstanding in male culture.
Bear in mind, I am by no means a writer and this is a rare project for me. It is a first draft and will be edited and, perhaps, elongated as time passes. Judge as harshly as you'd like or not at all. Actually, I'm not even sure I'm talking to anyone right now except myself, so this request is meaningless.
