This week we meet Gordon. Or Gordo as he prefers to be called.

Gordo has a cushy job with the old man’s construction company. Record keeper for a big Port Authority job at the passenger ship terminals. Plenty of time to do his two favorite things: Read & Write. Gordo wants to be a novelist. Of import. A Twain. A Melville. A Marquez.

But can he withstand the pressures? The family pressures. Peer pressures. Financial pressures. The Twins Pressures of Desire & Consumption. It’s a tall order. A tough task. He likes to think he’d rather be dead than give in to these pressures.
