Fiends, My Alternate Family: A Really Post-Modern Piece of Art

By Kabir Dhawan

Ever felt trapped? Ever felt stuck in a box, with your back against the wall, feeling like you have nowhere to go? Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and absolutely no way to escape?

Now what about drugs? Has anyone ever offered those to you? How about offered you an opportunity to sell those drugs? Did you comply? Or did you say no like the good and morally righteous person you were raised to be?

Maybe you did say no, but then realised it was all around. Within your home, within your apartment, even within your family. Can you still say no? Are you still willing to stand by what you stand for?

Meet our protagonist. A seemingly innocent soul tumbling through life, lost and in search of meaning. He stuck to his morales, and where did that get him? Nowhere, apparently. And now he's pissed. Not just pissed, alone; let alone, in every manner of the word, be it spoken or written... Surrounded.

How is he to escape? Will he leave and manage to escape this complicated situation that he's so deeply stuck within? Mentally, metaphorically, malignantly... You pick. Will he finally achieve the simple yet impossible state you and I, (we) like to call mental peace? Will he ever be able to find... home?

Join me, join us, dear reader, for this soothing yet terrifying tale and walk with me, while I show you exactly where our protagonist does right, goes wrong, and how you can escape the terrible fate that seems absolutely unavoidable for our dear friend of whom we don't even know the name, hardly him.
