    About this ebook

    Enter a world where people are expected to wear clown makeup in public, In this absurdist black humour short story.

    In this smart, funny satire examining the masks we are required to wear, a tragedy in the life of a family patriarch causes him to reflect upon the strange hoops we are expected to jump through in the course of life and his own role in passing them on to his son.

    If you don't feel like putting on greasepaint and a red nose before going out, should you? Find out, in Greasepaint, another short story by multi genre author Dixon James.

For the last seven years has been constructing his own house due to a deep subconscious desire to bang his head on things.

      I walk into the orchid show with Ed. As soon as I see the tumultuous hall I know he won’t last long. Ed walks like an old man though he is forty. After ten minutes on his feet, he vomits on some purple phalaenopsis. I get him outside through a fire e

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
