With random precision, the perfectly flawed man asserted his feminine manliness to deaf listeners. His meaningful nonsense and structured babble aroused feelings of curious apathy and heartfelt dis-concern. Although many heard the mute roaring of his quiet shouting and calm rage, few had the ignorant wisdom to grasp the incoherent meaning of his open-minded rant. Most people passionately ignored him, although a few listless enthusiasts engaged him in conciliatory debate. Some agreeably argued that his lies were true, while others regarded impassively that his words were an important trivia. At long last the endless brevity of his speech came to close, and crowd dispersed in a cluster, leaving the man to mindlessly contemplate the boisterous inactivity of the morning's afternoon. Thus, he remained confident in uncertainty.

Awesome
You know what?
Disregard the previous comments up there.
YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO COME UP WITH A STORY CENTERED AROUND OXYMORONS AND HAVE IT FLOW AT ALL?
and do you have ANY IDEA how impossible it would be to give it a constant 'central purpose'?
I loved this, very different and structurally sound.
Great work. -
this does seem pretty ramdom indeed I enjoyed some of the imagary in this but still not sure the real meaning probally just me
love and light

Oddly entertaining to say the least, a non-sequitor indeed. It came of as more of a play with words than anything else. Perhaps a little twist would add something to it.

Im not trying to express anything. thats the point. this whole thing is a non-sequitor

What I liked: this is a playful experiment, and I have no doubt that you will eventually hone your craft through persistent experimentation.
What I didn't like: In the end, I believe every store has to have a central "point". I am unsure about what the point is in this piece. What is it you are trying to express?
