No Rules
I once heard someone say Gen X kids were feral. It's pretty accurate. I remember sitting on the roof of our green house, staring up at the night sky. No one even knew I was up there. I was a kid. Having fun. I also remember climbing into the attic of our garage. Playing up there. I remember lighting candles in a closet, hiding behind the clothes in a little hideaway. When I think of my childhood, I don't remember being supervised. Both of my parents worked, and though I had family around, they were not concerned about my activities.

People who Point Us
I've been around long enough to have a good look around. Now I'm too old to go about and be bothered about fitting in or fooling around. I'm waning instead of waxing, according to the moon. And the moon, as it casts its light on us all, reminds me of the different seasons of my life that have influenced me (my character) in some sort of way. Those seasons have been centered with different actors in my play. (Our lives are really works of art, if you think about it.) This story is about the early lessons in the play called life.
