When awkward teen Joey discovers that Shannon, the girl he is obsessed with is actually a platypus from another planet, he is forced to come to terms with his own definitions of gender, sexuality, and friendship.
Our second episode is adapted from the short story “Platypus” which began as a writing challenge in 2014. In the original five-page draft, the main character, Joey, finds a giant eyeball on a beach. After many drafts, this version of the story was published in the Spring 2018 issue of Black Market Re-View. It was inspired, in part, by my own high school experience in the early 90s when a prefix like “trans” was followed either by -vestite or -former, and repression was survival.
