Man decides to leave the world behind
Take on a profession he has never tried before
Whether or not he is running from something
Is never actually discussed
He becomes friends with his roommate
And they sign on to the same workplace
Without knowing their boss
They head out to work
Later, horrified, they realize their boss is crazy
Obsessed with getting revenge
On forces outside of the control of man
That obsession kills everyone
Except our hero and narrator
His friend, in a last act
Gave up his last personal belonging
To make sure that he would live
Once, my life went bad enough
That I thought of doing the same thing
But I can’t swim
And I fear bosses with missing limbs and obsessions with outside forces
Wonderful summery and a great way to outline Moby Dick.
