Things Grak Hates by Peter J Story
Grak hates things. Lots of things. And with a peculiar intensity too. Grak’s contempt is so strong, in fact, that it often leaves his fellow tribesmen bewildered. And when attempting to describe his personality, they find themselves in need of words with greater nuance. “Neurotic” is typically used. “Sociopath” and “narcissist” are also common terms. The most popular descriptor, however, is “pathological.” Grak, on the other hand, sees his situation in a rather different light. He finds … [Read more...] about Things Grak Hates by Peter J Story
