Russet: a twitter novel--introduction

This is an experiment. Russet is telling his own story on my twitter account. He talks. I type. I don't know what happens next. I am astounded at what he's whispering in my head. And usually, he does whisper. He is 18, just trying to figure out his complicated life. You can follow him on twitter: http://twitter.com/kathleenduey
Or read his story here. It's updated a few minutes after he tweets, which is almost every day. When I travel, he keeps talking, and I tweet/post ASAP.
