The Quest for Trousers — James West

After three days without his lovely pants or "trousers" our dimwitted hero sets out on a quest; a quest for trousers. Imagining the devastation his silky smooth beauties could bring upon this world he gets in touch with his four best friends to track them down. Through hunger pains and somewhat delusional ideas of how the world really works he presses on. He presses on through this horrible world with only one thing on his mind, the safety of his trousers. Through this adventure he comes up with conclusions ranging from new gaming systems to a possible terrorist threat. Regardless of how much he tries to make sense of things it seems that everything just becomes a little more confusing. Wrote intending to confuse the reader and the writer I bring you "The Quest for Trousers." Included along with this short story are a few poems I wrote therapeutically; and another very short story about a lonely man trying to find meaning in this world.
