Male-main-character Stories

Bruce Grimes is a punk rock fanatic; he lives at home with his dad and younger sister and is unemployed. But he gets a chip on his shoulder as soon as he sees a group of skinheads performing on stage. In protest, Bruce decides to form his own band. But he bites off more than he can chew when he starts budding heads with the eccentric vocalist; the former wants to be the best of the best while the latter wants to live and let live. Bruce then begins to have a change of heart when he meets a groupie named Beth, but this could be an even bigger slippery slope.

My eyes open and I see only darkness. I wake a bit more, and I hear only silence. I am alone. I have no idea how I got here, or even where 'here' is. But I don't have time to think about that, because my eyes are adjusting and I can see most of my surroundings under the dim, almost nonexistent light from the bulb attached to the ceiling of this cement walled room. It's no longer completely dark. And I'm not actually alone.
