Max's story. (Abandon all hope, ye who want nonfiction posts)

I call myself Maxwell Hydragyrum. I work as more or less a jack-of-all-trades, but the sign on my door brands me as a private investigator- although I also do great party planning. On the morning of the day on which this tale takes place, I was ruminating on my family- and it's a very large one, believe me. We're originally from the Mediterranean

Good story love, definatly enjoyed it a lot :)

Ever read American Gods by Neil Gaimen? If not I can lend it to you when I get back to Waterloo.... but I suspect you already have :)

Thank you!

Excellent call, Opal. I absolutely adore the kind of subgenre that this story and American Gods falls into, and you're right, I did read it- all of it, the night before I wrote this, in fact.

The fact that you're referencing American Gods would indicate you've picked up on who the main character is. Well done. I was worried I made it too obtuse,

Nice to see you sharing your writing at last. I really enjoyed this. Very clever (just my cup of tea)
