This allegorical story deals with beauty, truth and honesty, three values that are hard to find in a superficial world. If you care about such things, you might find it interesting, though if you want an adrenaline rush, watch a DVD instead.
This is an expanded version of a story I wrote in 1999. The writing is a lot less subtle, but I thought this was necessary as few people understood it the first time. There’s also a little more characterisation. Readers are advised that this story is approximately 9,000 words long.
