Extract from Conrad's Story, The Exodus

Conrad used to be a reliable, joyful and mostly trustworthy guy. All his childhood, his so called teenage years and so on till he finally reached cultural adulthood he worked very hard to achieve this perception of him in others. Now, at 53 for the first time ever he has not only come to disappoint his father but their conflict has made both appearing not only vicious and violent but heated with anger. He didn’t like this state of mind but these were turbulent times, the corners of the universe seemed to be turned out of their solid places reshaping everything in an entirely different manner. And only if things were that simple, he thought. Has the universe had corners to begin with, things would be far simpler to contemplate at present.

He was still angry pacing up and down in the lobby casting frequent looks at the door. Since it all began, when things started to change ever so rapidly, he discovered in his new state of mind characteristics that were alien to him before. Many disturbing, others not. 'Leadership' his father pronounced one, trying to convince him that he would have to stand representing them all. This concept however freaked Conrad. He grew up in an Anarcho-Federalist collective and he could not accept the idea of the new order. His point of view differed greatly from his father's and his cronies' as they have grown to be dubbed. Since their conflict erupted in the open, since he became so vicious and tunefully violent a great many has stood behind his words. He supposed that was what fuelled him, that made him go on and debate vehemently in all platforms. Beside, he was a federalist to the core and unlike his father he was, he could not be loyal.
