Scab

By Brannon Jackson

When Brannon Jackson enters a reputable art college, his dreams of becoming an artist quickly crumble. His dorm room is a dump. His roommate is a horny hipster. And one of his first professors is a tyrant packaged in pixie form. Things get worse when he inherits secondhand stink on the college bus, stumbles into a series of sexual situations, and nearly gets kicked out of his assigned housing. Brannon's priorities go from purchasing paints to preventing panic attacks as he attempts to navigate the complex and frightening word of human relations. Stunted by several social pitfalls, including public speaking, dating strangers, and escalating tension with his roommate, he soon discovers his college course load is the easy part. It's the people placed in his path who aren't providing passing marks. Combining heartbreak and hilarity, this coming-of-age confessional composites a portrait of a young man's attempt to become an artist and adult in an environment of hot weather, cold hearts, and an abundance of art school nudity.
