T-Rex: Man, who hasn't written a story about a Man With A Problem for a while? Is it me?
T-Rex: I'm pretty sure the answer is "YES!"
T-Rex: So my new story will be about a man whose problem is he weeps all the time. He's not sad, his eyes just produce water like it's going out of style. And he tells everyone that it's just a biological thing and he's very happy to see them, but they all suspect he's sad. They say "Are you alright?" and he says "YES dammit I just got leaky eyes." Then he locks his weeping eyes with them and says "What's for dinner?"
Utahraptor: It sounds like he's a pretty unsettling character!
T-Rex: No man, he's nice! He just weeps all the time.
T-Rex: I'm going to use it to explore PREJUDICE. What's it like to be a man of tears in a world where most men don't even like to cry at weddings? He faces a lot of preconceptions.
Utahraptor: How does he deal with it?
T-Rex: Sometimes, in his most private moments - the tears are real.
Text: The airline had a strict "no crybabies" policy, and wouldn't let him board, no matter how he protested. Prejudice. He pointed at his eyes. "See these? These are tears of PITY." But as he stormed out of the terminal, he knew that they were really tears of frustration, mixed with the standard tears he always produced.
T-Rex: I don't know, self! I still kinda suspect that this sucks!
