This introductory chapter in what may become a multi-chapter story is pretty short. For that, I'm sorry, but it just came to me while playing solitare on my computer. This story is a bit reflective on my views about people, so sorry if I offend you by any of the comments I make, because I'm usually very cynical. SO, without further ado, here's Dare to Be Different, the Prologue.

Prologue

Sometimes things don't go exactly as you planned. The square peg won't go into the circle hole, there's something wrong with the picture, but you can't find it. What's different often confuses us, because we're always used to everything being the same. Different. One word, one little word, can start wars or change the course of history forever. The one word that can make you friends, or make you lose everything you have. Not many people in life have purposely tried to keep themselves different from the crowds, from the mindless sheep that follow everything the media says. I, fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), am one of those people. Those few people who dare to be different, risking life and everything they have to stand up for what they believe in, what the sheep they're different from go against. I am Duo Maxwell, and I dare to be different. Why? I'm gay, and I love my best friend, Heero Yuy, and that, my friends isn't sheep behavior.

But then again, I never wanted to be a sheep.
