Metafiction: 'The Encyclical'
Well... the prologue to this short story kind of is the metafiction in this case. To recap; this short story was written earlier this term when I was just back at college, and playing around with the laptop. Before I started panicing about the volume of revision I have to get done before my exams. I just wanted to write something: without any inspiration or using up any others I might have. So I turned to 'The Apes of God', the topic of my dissertation and my pretence for being in the library in the first place.
And that's pretty much where the similarities to life end, except for the fact like everyone I've received loads of those annoying hotmail chain-letters telling me I'll have anus infested by bats if I don't forward a message about some girl comitting suicide...
Anyway, that's enough updating for today. I'm getting Thai takeaway with Sanjay and Rhys, and then I'm going back to cramming for my Medieval English paper. Chaucer. Troilus & Criseyde. Yay.
