Abstract:
The following piece is a work of fiction, accompanied by an analysis of the piece and my specific creative process. There will also be included a bibliography that lists the various influences that went into the work. The story itself follows the events of a man and the relationships he has with two of his friends. The focus is on how these relationships act as both a defining characteristic of who he is as well as a restriction on his ability to freely live for himself. It attempts to portray the two-sided dynamic of relationships and how certain ones can turn sour or develop into parasitic reliance, but how those can potentially, with plenty of work and understanding, turn into something more fruitful.
