Clickbait

-



Thanks for stopping by.

 I've been away for a long time and I'm new to the internet, but scrolling through dozens of websites, I've come to understand how the system works. I know the rules. 

 I've learned the lingo

 The best clickbait is a listicle.

 So I have two. I'll get to them soon  But first I want to explain my blog’s title.

 The Nuremburg trials were officially referred to as an international military tribunal. They gathered evidence of Nazi war crimes and put the criminals to justice. But their essential function was to gather evidence for a comprehensive historical record of the atrocities committed during the Third Reich.

 The cruelties of a middle class American adolescence, inflicted during the four-year ordeal of high school, are much more common, far less terrible and hold no historical significance. These ordinary tortures and debasements pass unnoticed and unpunished in every town and city in America, every day and every year. But some incidents rise above the level of routine hazing and do profound damage. They ruin lives. They create psychic wounds that never heal.

 That was my experience.
            
I cannot put the people who hurt me on trial. But this blog is my deposition. Three listicles:
       
 
 Top Three Mortifications
 Top Three Atrocities

 Read them all. And judge for yourself.

Of course you can’t – and why should you? It’s like imagining the moment by moment existence of your old friend with the terminal illness – how it feels for them when you leave their suffocating hospital room after the mandatory visit and re-enter the sunny, wind-kissed world of the living.  You don’t want to think about their exile or their loneliness, or the years I suffered in the foul snake pit of our mental health system:...

Sippy Bascombe’s Suicide Mission

I met Jim “Sippy” Bascomb on the first day of school, when it still seemed that life might change for the better. The beginning of the fall semester always felt that way to me. Everything seemed new in the clean September air – new teachers, new classmates, and this case a whole new school in a whole new place. I was anonymous on Nantucket, I could rebuild myself from the foundation up.  My   mistake. They say the Devil you know is better than the one you don’t.  The same goes for Hell. Anyway, I was eating alone in the dining hall when the incident happened. The girl from the boat swept into the big room in a crowd of other girls, eight of them altogether, somehow prettier in a group than any of them would have been separately -- that mysterious bubble of arrogance and estrogen. I was smart enough to keep my distance. My half-brother Lonnie had offered me at seat at the loser’s table – him and a fatso – Sippy, it turned out – along with a weird looking ...
