The Red Toothed Camel Ted Mettlach

The Red Toothed Camel was born at sea aboard the State Ship Deliverance, weathering a hurricane. He's a young princeall boywho grows into a fine man, in spite of himself and the consequences of his yearly misadventures, which he luckily survives, at least for our behalf. His eventual purpose, you'll see, is to be the catalyst for a social commentary, which Helmet, our author, weaves for your sake and the sake of the Camel's own children. There is a slight blurring between fiction and allegory and humor and satire, but its not meant to confuse; its offered to help you take off your blinders, if you will. The brief narrative herein covers a long, long life, which is but an exaggeration to help the reader find more than the immediate.
