SYNOPOSIS:
The Absurdist Hero awoke to a day much like any other. The days that pass like bowling balls through molasses, and depression through the minds of men. Seconds counted away by the beating of your heart, and minutes tallied by the smoking of cigarettes.
But something had to give. And finally, finally, it has. What a life to lead, where the closest thing to excitement is a mental breakdown. Or is it something more? Something...beautiful?

"As if the blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself - so like a brother, really - I felt I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."

Absurdist heroes are awesome...and I think it should be said that they don't usually drown their cats...
