Best Seller

To weave a grand tale into the very fabric of time and space. That is Paul's aim in life, no, it is his soul, his destiny. Be it he does this through his own actions in life or his prowess in writing is up to the gods to decide.

But if Paul did in fact have a say in his fate, this would be attempt number one. A gay erotica fantasy about my life and his own.
Can't say it tickles my fancy. (If that is even a saying.)

Paul and our good friend Daniel "Bob" Taylor are collaborating to write our story. To be honest I don't remember much of what is being written and did not think myself part of 'Nam. But of course anyone can use a creative twist and enhance the truth for a best seller.

I don't think gay erotica usually becomes a best seller. How do they even decide what a "Best Seller" is? Paul is probably going for his own method to gain the title of "Best Seller Author".

As he sees it you need a book first. Any book will do so he chose to write about his passion. Us.
*shudder*
And then he plans to make one really good sale of his book. A sale that would draw the attention of auctioneers, scalpers, Tesco Self Service units and even those Big Issue folk, the world over.

How can you make that good a sale? Easy. You write a gay erotica fantasy book about yourself and your best friend who is quite uneasy and uncomfortable about the idea. Then you post each chapter on his facebook wall so he knows the content. Oh he knows it. Then as he is in a fit of embarrassment and confusion from the dramatic conclusion you sell him (the victim) the book. The very thing that makes him scared, nostalgic, revolted, inspired, horny and psychotic killer will be sold to him.

Thus being the best sale of all time. And making the book a "Best Seller". Pauls first of many hopefully.
I told him that's not how Best Sellers work. He disagreed saying "That Derren Brown guy sold his book The Da Vinci Code to Jesus and that's how he did it." I can't argue with that logic. Except maybe why a magician would sell a book to another more famous magician. Surely that is just good spirit to help your peers in their hard work.

Anyway I must go now. Paul thinks he found a recipe for the elixir of life and is drinking copius amounts of "jellyfish meat". Well I said jellyfish are 99% water and he has been drinking tap water straight two and a half hours from the tap. I should probably stop him.
