The Story
The story takes place in a Southern California Suburb. It explores
in depth both preternatural and mundane aspects of living within fifteen
feet of neighbors on at least 2 sides of the revered property lines, fences,
hedges and walls. In an attempt to conquer the barriers, our fractured
hero, douglas, tunnels from beneath his garage to the underspace of his
neighbors' properties and beyond.
Episodes use and are many times "driven" by AWAD
words served by the Wordserver of Anu Garg (a wordsmith supreme), the author's
notions about life in the bermuda rectangles of suburbia, and comments
from the readers of 'doug&Sylvia'. There is a general plot and
storyline, but admittedly, anything can happen since doug&Sylvia is
very much an appurtenance to A-Word-A-Day: http://www.wordsmith.org/awad
Cautionary
Note
There are several characters, so there's no lack of anacoluthons and what
might be called offensive language or violent acts. This cautionary note
is for those who might be acerbated at coarse language, violence, or the
personal physical interactions humans usually have with each other.
For the captious reader please let it be known the author can be reached
via email and will usually respond to questions, critique or comment, time
permitting. Email is, after all, a dynamic medium hence the give-and-take
of ideas should be "part of the art". 2dellis@cox.net
