The Misfit Plays

Book Cover & Preview Text
Fun? I do not believe in "fun." No. There is no "fun" at a party that I herald. Here! This drink is not to herald "fun." Interesting substance, eh? A beautiful liquid that redefines one's sense of proportion and sobriety. It penetrates the air that hovers just above its tiny ripples of intoxication. One cherishes its impact upon the senses even before the first swallow. It touches one's lips like a stinging and breathless kiss of abandon. It hurts the mouth. It should hurt for it is penetrating. And, in its penetration, it enfolds the body and mind and heart and...the emotions. That beautiful liquid with a kick that can stain one's virtue or liberate it. Cheers!
