Boy, do I have a story for you! -Introduction


Expect some morality-tale style entries about what happens to a guy who starts making bad calls and ends up tangled in all manner of very hateful and harmful activity to keep his failing venture afloat, while keeping his family from finding out he's failed...

I am planning a story about a little company that tears itself apart after a series of bad calls and a lot of in-fighting. I have wanted to explore what a sane person can become when put in a setting of a failing business and his own shortcomings. Expect some morality-tale style entries about what happens to a guy who starts making bad calls and ends up tangled in all manner of very hateful and harmful activity to keep his failing business afloat, while keeping his family from finding out he's let them down. This story will no doubt include the other family members' experiences and influences over the failure of the business and I hope to be insightfully honest and brutally open about all of it.

Expect to see the classic villain with the mustache and how his real evil is his inaction that spawns his own need to hurt others for his self preservation. Financial hardship, lies, family fights, insurance fraud, and most of all ripping honesty about how life seems to find a way to set the right people down on their feet and the others on their backs. Let's hope I can manage this and more!

I made a number of short animations that relate to this story and, if they seem relevant, I'll work those into this project too. I may explore more theoretical stuff here too, but only if it seems like hypothetical re-takes on the main thread. I don't want this to become too abstract, but I also want the specific story to have universal relevance. That's the real trick, isn't it.

So, check back to find out what happens when, oh hell, let's just call him Nero, let's his business go to hell for the sake of preserving a big game of pretend with his family and then embarks on a life of horrific harm to others (and himself) as a foolish stab at saving his own selfish skin.
