" there's nothing left alive but a pair of glassy eyes. . . " • • • 1994, PORTLAND, OR. "Damned are the days of Carpe Diem!" is the personal life motto of Curtis Carpenter, a used car salesman whose only aspirations in life have been to foster and drown in a perdurable drug habit. That is, until he meets Shelly; a fifteen-year-old drifter whose Kerouacian tales about life on the road dislodge his once stable philosophies about junkyism and the post-Cold War drug underground. Between nightmares in New York, daydreamt Boston street raids, and narratives spun out of Portland, OXFORD SHEEP is an in-depth, semi-autobiographical examination of the lives of six inordinary strangers and their struggles amid a rising health epidemic, economic downfalls, and relationships buoyed by the threat of co-dependency near the genesis of the twenty-first century. • • • " there's nothing in my dreams just some ugly memories. . .
