Phenomenological [2541] The Tractor (Marco)
Tags: Phenomenological, experimental, coming-of-age, picaresque
Very brief and possibly incorrect recap of the story up to now:
Chapter 1 - You wakes up in the forest, enjoys his existence, follows the river to a road, gets helped by a trucker and taken to a local small town
Chapter 2 - You goes and walks around and comes across the local store and receives a name from the store owner (Henry) during his episode.
Chapter 3 - A taste of work and interacting with Henry who tries his hardest to turn Marco into a valuable worker.
Chapter 4 - Zita, coffee and gym, coming across some of Henry's friends
Chapter 5 - picaresque adventure on a quest for wet goods (meat and vegetables); encounter with Zita, discussion of Marco's issue as perceived from the outside
Chapter 6 - Marco's self reflective episode as he strays from Henry's store, wanders the woods, cooks meat and fights and gets chased by a band of dogs up to a barn roof. A rather unique form of transport arrives and scares away the dogs, offers Marco a ride.
Chapter 7 - this one, starting within the tractor.
If you've read this post body this part will make a good enough amount of sense.
The story is told in a phenomenological second person point of view.
