CHAPTER 1 – The Rabbit and the Fox

It’s me Grant.

The thing you have to understand about Josh, is that he is a dreamer. He can only take so much reality before he snaps. Massive head explosion. Brain goo everywhere. This hinders him socially somewhat, but offers advantages too.

If you are like most people, you are probably trapped on the world in which you live. Josh dallies there only under the duress put upon him by those around him. Dragged back constantly by irritated friends, family, acquaintances. It’s considered anti-social behavior. And as you and I know, when it comes to labels like “anti-social,” what things are considered to be is all that really matters. He is by no means popular with the world. Which is ok, because he doesn’t like it so much either.

Still, all things considered, he’d rather be popular. But the dreams are overwhelming, and letting them win is in the end, more fun than fighting them. In his head, he is a champion of sorts, but not just that. For one thing, he’s me. He’s also Lori and Beth, (we’re his three favorites) and everyone and everything else too.
