Mayday

“Man should beware of Experience as he should beware of all women, for with her or without her he will be miserable, but without her he will not be dangerous.”

The story of a man in search of the woman of his dreams. Traveling with Pain and Hunger, his companions, he sets himself on a series of adventures: meeting an old hermit fascinated by the notion of time, watching a soon-to-be-married woman as she bathe on a river, killing her guards on the way, meeting an inviting woman in a forest, and then a goddess who carries him in her mystical chariot into the sky to teach him about love. All of this is as sexist, ridiculous or infuriating as it sounds.

At the end of the fable, confronted with the woman of his dreams, he will have to make a choice that will change his life forever: to follow her into the darkness of the river to forget everything (death) or to keep traveling on the river of pain of suffering.

Well. He wrote this fable as a gift to the woman he loved and who rejected him. Not sure it helped...
