What's the emotional pro and storytelling advantage to make your antagonist biologically related to the protagonist?

lol the taboo made it slightly sinister but intriguing. The former is just another teen romance tale. Not that that detracts from the connection I felt to you while reading it. It's a nice piece. I like age gaps though.

Holy shit this was so fucking good until the united states part, which made it campy. Take that part out and this is solid gold, dude. I want this put to folk music. I was really shocked when I googled it and it didn't come up.

>If you're inclined to share more on the subject of Chekhov's craft, I for one would be sincerely interested.

Chekhov does this thing where he takes the kernal of a proverb and makes a short story out of it.

And you can tell the exact moment when the proverb or "moral of the story" moment/revelation occurs--as if the entire story was just filler and concrete that acted as a pedestal for this "lesson" or "piece of wisdom".

Admit it, it would be a refreshing change to "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead".

I totally understand, while I prefer less of a cunt-like character it doesent really matter. Im asking if there is an incineration of the invisible man where he is a detective and not just a scientist?

The story becomes much more understandable when you realize that "play video games" is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.
