THROWING IT ALL INTO THE WIND
I would like to propose a fictional manuscript of 117430 words. The title of this work is, “Throwing It All into The Wind,” This work could be classed as a modernist fantasy with a romantic hero type of character, in a philosophical sense.
In my work I have a protagonist who begins life with a birth defect to overcome. There is a spiritualist element in the story, and this element determines for the family to relocate from New Port News, Va, to Richmond, Va. While in Richmond the protagonist and his family live in a huge Victorian era home located in the historical district, where the child grows and develops. He also meets a young girl near his own age, named Tammy. They live with a wealthy friend, who some two years or more, is given to walking about throughout the home on dark stormy nights. This activity makes the protagonists mother very uncomfortable. The protagonist also begins this quest to find and restore his families long lost wealth and status. The family moves in with the grandparents who live deep in the countryside, far from Richmond. Here the protagonist learns the woodsman's craft and begins school.
As he grows, he has some interesting encounters with a villainous figure called the Huffy Scruffy. He has more encounters at school with more villainous figures known as Ya-WHO's and Ghouls. When he reaches adulthood, he attends an institution of great respect called The Blue Ice Castle Institute. Upon graduation he drifts from the land of plastic people to the house of the wood nymph mistress, to a very unique town called Merimon, to the field of diamonds. All of this he does in search of this long-lost family fortune. Finally, he winds up in an ancient city with giants and a central pyramid, where gold and fortune are in abundance. This city sits on top of a two-mile-high mountain called Heaven's Gate. Here he is transformed from a mere mortal into a spiritual being, and is reunited with his long-lost friend, Tammy.
This work teaches a variety of important social lessons, such as a need for perseverance and determination. Other lessons taught are in the futility of dedicating one’s life entirely to the pursuit of wealth, and instead focusing on the pleasures found in simple living. Additional lessons include those of embracing the positive benefits of individual liberty. Publication of this work would fill a void existing in the body of literature available to the public embracing individualist ideology.
