Deconstructo Manifesto Finito

Reports of a man who has begun to deconstruct have been filing in for the last several months. Eye-witness reports indicate that one Jack Dorodia has been seen throughout the lake village contemplating the absolute absurdity of existence while physically deconstructing in plain sight of local businesses and public spaces. 

Jack, a former Ph.D student in literary studies, can often be found rolling aimlessly throughout the downtown area on a skateboard. Witness reports indicate that he attempts no tricks and seems to roll on his own accord throughout town with a wistful gaze as he contemplates the ineffectual nature of existence and the absolute futility of the human condition. 

Local baker Margaret Chan of Anything you Chan Do, I Chan Do Batter spoke with Jack, when she noticed the young man had been manifesting his inner monologue and allowed it to escape into the ether. “I asked him if he was doing okay, you know, I offered him some baked goods and a cup of coffee, I thought maybe he just needed, you know, like a friendly ear and something to eat...but he just stared deep into my eyes and rolled by without stopping. I felt as though he had peered into my soul and he just rolled on by”. 

This seems to be the norm for those who have had encounters with Dorodia as corroborated by his former fiance Fiona Bell. “One day he was reading in the study and I heard a thump. I looked up and noticed that tiny squares were drifting around his head. As I approached and inspected them further I recognized memories of which I was a part of. It seemed as if his memories and ideas were orbiting around his head. I asked if he was alright, I know I was panicked. But he didn’t seem to respond. He just stared at me with sad eyes and stood up and walked out of the door. I followed him, but he wouldn't stay. I haven’t seen him for weeks.   Local Police Chief Elliot “The Stooge” Luge had no comment, as per usual. 

Dorodia, whose thoughts have been literally escaping his mind while his physical appearance begins to morph into outlandish and nearly incomprehensible form can be seen from time to time wheeling around town with no detectable aim or goal in sight. Everyday however, to those of us willing to pay attention, we see that we are privy to a man who is disappearing one memory at a time. 

Godspeed Jack, and good luck.  D.S.
