GOING NATIVE
I've always loved the phrase "going native." It implies that there was something well before me. It's just too easy to believe in oneself and that the contemporary world ultimately revolves around me. Mainly. Well, exclusively. This is a topic I delve deeply into in THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020). The universe as well as NewAmerica to Draff Rob Brie [Septican-Smite] revolves around him, from when he was aware of himself in the womb, to when he first met Billie Frann Frunk [Tordon-Cass] and Simi Andry Jan [Jan-Rho], to when he and Billie starred in their public SweetSixteenSalsaSexcapade, to when he makes a conscious decision to obtain a prehensile tail, to when he finally chooses with whom to live his intimate sexual life.

So what does it mean to "go native," living at the edge of madness? It means, it seems, letting go of society's "plan for you" and letting serendipity insert its own invigilating fingers into the equation. Letting "nature" organically guide, while reserving for oneself the final conscious decision as to what to believe, think and do. In THE EDGE OF MADNESS, the three young protagonists learn that letting "nature" be one's guide has distinct advantages and, unfortunately, incurs distinct disadvantages as well. In Jan, the Wiccan High Priestess and her coven's Principal Warlock's words, "There's always draw to pay."
Take a moment out of your hectic life to join Brie, Frunk and Jan as they experience life to its hedonistic fullest and learn what it means to really pay. Or as they would say, "what it means to play."
