The denizens of the Snake Pit started reacting to shadows as if a drug-induced paranoia had taken hold, calling in favors from IT to inquire if their extension had been connected to the electronic recordation system and looking up for haphazardly reset ceiling tiles. It was a corporate downsizing free-for-all and no one wanted to be left standing when the music stopped. This darkly comic tale, entitled Competitive Stupid, is set in Occupy Wall Street era Corporate America, in which an insular segment of senior management, having foolishly named their core group with an acronym that forms the word C.O.V.E.N, has been burdened with the task of releasing one third of its work force. Senior management's initial cockiness regarding their ability to control the rumor mill while simultaneously poking at the hive quickly spirals into a disorienting dread. Previously peaceable colleagues devolve into hostile and combative survivalists as everyone's egregious personality defects begin to surface in desperation and without constraint. Management willfully engages in the most Machiavellian of machinations designed to sway the collective to their favor but rather than producing the desired result of acquiescence, their strategic manipulations do nothing more than inflict a devastating impact on morale. The damage wrought on the corporate underclass ripples throughout the organization creating a subversive, dysfunctional working environment rife with traitors, passive-aggressively expressed retribution and psychosomatic illness. Management is composed of more than its fair share of surface dwellers, i.e, those whose depth of insight floats at the level of a Saturday morning cartoon. They are incapable of making the distinction between the disingenuous snake who takes information gleaned from a private conversation and offers it up as a weapon of vocational destruction, and a solid workhorse whose value to the company is incalculable. Let the games begin!

Poor Toni; uninspired by the pseudo intellectualism conferred upon her by a lesser-known SUNY, she progressed past collegiate life out loud and proud yet only marginally better than clueless.

Poor Toni; uninspired by the pseudo intellectualism conferred upon her by a lesser-known SUNY, she progressed past collegiate life out loud and proud yet only marginally better than clueless. A few years later, after having unwittingly alienated most of her friends and lovers, she concluded that having the acumen of your average turnip simply wouldn’t cut it anymore. The setting for this coming of age tale entitled The Pursuit of Enlightenment is the mid nineties, New York City. The narrative tightly follows Toni as she attempts to stay afloat in what she comes to view as an incomprehensibly nuanced world of irrational emotions and complicated friendships. The prospect of evolving from an arrogant know-it-all to someone whose mere presence doesn’t empty a room inspires Toni to absorb each painful life lesson and soldier on as she tries desperately to attain some semblance of self knowledge. As she becomes more aware of the thornier requirements of maintaining healthy working and personal relationships, she begins to realize how little she understands about what actually motivates her actions and how recklessly tossing off unsolicited, uneducated advice can wreak havoc on the sensitive balance of boundaries between friends. A constant presence throughout her missteps and growth is her best friend Kat who refuses to budge an inch in allowing self reflected psychobabble to dominate Toni’s interpretation of the world around her. Toni continues to wing-it until her ill conceived narrative gets further deconstructed by the institutionalization of her lover whose need for a supportive, emotionally healthy friend provides the right cathartic mechanism for her immaturity to be left behind.
