The Privelage of Creating
I'm writing a new story. It's about a tiger that's changed into a cat by a radish so that he'll see the bugs eating him alive. No, I wasn't on any drugs when I wrote this up. It's mostly metaphorical.
The tiger is a guy who comes from a prestigious family and is sent to an honor's college. But he refuses not only to appreciate his position in the world, but outright rejects it and abuses it. Most people, when this happens, lose what's been given them and they are only left with their bitterness. These are the bugs. The radish is a crazy man that appears at random to help guide the kitten along. Oh yeah, the radish takes away the Tiger's allotment that he refuses, and gives him a new lot. A very differnt lot, and not quite as powerful or blessed, but maybe by having ia new perspective on the world, a little outside help, and one stubborn radish, the Kitten will keep from letting the bugs in his heart consuming him inside out, and turning him into a bug like them.
Taro isn't a jerk. He doesn't go out of his away to hurt people. But he doesn't love anyone or anything either. He's dishonest with his actions. And he bloody well holds a deepset bitterness for being who he is. And so he lets the bugs in his heart eat him inside out.
Until one night he had a very crazy dream about a tiger, a radish, and a whole bunch of bugs. And when he woke up his whole world got turned upside down.
That crazy Radish...

This story came from a storehouse of my own inner conflicts. Like all my stories, it reflects a part of me, both good and bad. For a long time I wanted to be something I wasn't, and that nearly destroyed me. Somehow I found my way through, by God. Sometimes you have to knock down to build up.
Even this story threatened to be a repercussion of that old desire to be something I'm not. But if I'm strong enough, and if God is willing to grant me the privelage, I'd like to write this story. To help resolve some of my own inner conflict, as well as write a really cool story.
Taoru, I like her already!
