Polaroids: Original Nature
Henry Fauth, author
POLAROIDS: ORIGINAL NATURE is the first novella in the Polaroids Series. It depicts an artistic workbook telling the story of Singer Fauth, a schizophrenic outsider artist who is also a voyeur. The story takes place on the highly hedonistic Rock Island where she reconnects with Lee Heureux, a slightly narcissistic and highly secretive mixologist/bar owner. As she installs a mural entitled "Creation" on the ceiling of Lucky's Lounge, the Polaroids begin to reveal their original natures as subtle modern day, counter-culture versions of Tinker Bell and Peter Pan. In the midst of an artistic, avant-garde project their past and present intimacies and addictions are explored while portraits of the odd, outcast, and eccentric characters that frequent the lounge are revealed. The relationship of Singer and Lee becomes one of cat and mouse as each tries to woo, tame, capture, reject, and control the other. Their illnesses are fully explored as they push each other to the edge and their fusion takes on a life of its own. In the end, their love remains: poetic, hazy, cruel, and dark, but burning with a bright and wicked fury that only two truly sick and highly-imaginative minds can generate.
