Orikka craves meaning, but the meaning they create is a complicated one

Remember taking all those trips with your parents and every time you got going, someone inevitably asks the question "are we there yet"? Yeah, this is nothing like that. This short story has everything that nobody wants!... more>>

Gods? Greek, Norse, Eldritch, you bet!
Mythology? In moderate amounts.
Jokes? So many you'll start to wonder where the actual story is!
Things so obscure to the average person that you might need to grab an encyclopedia? What kind of story would this be without those!
Romance? No, we've got everything else though, including the kitchen sink.
Poop throwing? You bet we do!
A protagonist that uses their mind? Absolutely not! I mean, they aren't even a living being, technically, and they certainly aren't biological in origin.

While this story is tagged as a gender bender, the protagonist is non-binary/gender fluid. What this means is that the pronoun usage is irrelevant in terms of telling the actual story. The pronoun choices made are simply a reflection of the isolated main character's perception of self based on its own understanding of the world, just as the individual inside Plato's cave, would have no understanding of being male or female.
This short story was also inspired by the Chinese novel "Journey to the West" (also known by the titles "Monkey" and "The Monkey King") credited as being written by Wu Cheng'en. <<less

Over time, Peter got more and more nightmares about his new friend, and their friendship was bound to turn upside down.

Fast forward over three years, both decided to participate in a cultural project involving a high school from Ireland, and their days as friends became numbered, with Luke slowly unveiling his true face, attacking Peter both mentally and physically, despite all warnings.

How will their friendship end?

This is somewhat inspired from my experiences from the last several months, with plenty of modifications while trying to be as close to the source of inspiration as possible. For anyone involved reading this, the novel is not meant to offend you, and the character that may or may not represent you is merely fictitious.

This is my first book, as well as my British and Irish slang experiment, as English isn't my native language, so I apologize if there are any anomalies in writing or grammar. <<less
