Description

This manuscript can best be described as fiction packed with reality based on a true story.
The main character comes from humble beginnings and spirit-filled, God-fearing parents. Early in life, life was full of joy and the goodness of helping others.
Adolescence yields the "tree of knowledge" and casts a shadow over his life. His sheltered life, which shielded him from his troubles as a teenager, delivers him into harm's way repeatedly as an adult.
When wrecked dreams become patchwork visions, his life takes on an identity of its own that leads to a one-track mission. It's oblivious to reality. Along the way, in attempts not to harm the lives of people he knows are becoming attached, he begins to temporarily paralyze theirs. He dives in and out of drugs, sex, alcohol, racism, and manhood before actually speaking on these issues to anyone. Everything becomes trial by error and just hoping to land on top. Internal questions burn deep as the struggle continues. A young witness to a homosexual act, he is unable to ask why out of fear of scorn.
After using the model of his parents' relationship subconsciously, he watches the world around him as he knows it grind down.
This riveting piece uses hard-cutting reality to slash into one's inner soul and wrestle with one's sheer existence along the path of life as seen from someone IN THE THIRD PERSON.
