( Buddy is a speculative-fiction novelette of about 11,500 words; the story contains a bit of explicit language and deals with sexuality, sex and the body. It is one of my most bizarro offbeat tales and falls into what I call "mundane bizarro": fiction about bizarre occurrences and the every-day effects they have on characters, and the every-day way those characters deal with those events.)
