A home for complicated girls

Chosen - Teaser

In a country where masculinity is aggressively measured, recorded, and corrected by the state, feminisation is meant as a threat for young people to 'man up'.

It begins at a local assessment day: one of those public little rituals where nervous boys who tested around the boundary are dressed up like pantomime dames, photographed, and sent home with a warning to be more masculine next year.

It is supposed to be embarrassing. It is supposed to be funny. It is not supposed to be permanent.

But Peter is prettier than he should be. Softer than he should be. Easier to correct than anyone expected - except Mr. Bonnard.

He is told to relax. He is told to go along with it. He is told not to make this worse.

Nobody ever gets chosen from these things. Not really. Not unless the state sees something in him first.

Arthur thought he was management material.

He was precise. Gifted. Correct. The sort of man who saw errors before anyone else and expected to be rewarded for it.

But after one too many client meetings ends in discomfort, his boss gives him a different assessment: Arthur is promising, but not promotable. Too abrasive. Too immature. Too unpresentable.

Henry Armstrong offers to fix him.

The first step is a blouse.

The next steps are softer, stranger, and much harder to refuse: new rules, new clothes, new duties, new ways of being seen, completely new ways of thinking and experiencing his body. Arthur tells himself it is temporary. A small professional adjustment. A fast path to the top.

But the office begins to treat him differently. His wife begins to look at him differently. His colleagues, friends, family, and strangers understand his new place before he does.

And Arthur begins to learn that being useful can feel almost like being loved.

The complete revised PDF edition of Company Man is now available for subscribers: all 20 chapters in one polished ebook, with expanded early scenes and high-resolution images included for the first time.

I have read all 20; chapters of this, and let me tell you, this is one hell of a story. Twists. Turns. It's got it!!

Gotta admit, I didn't even see some things coming.

It's a good read, I enjoyed it.

Just offering my unsolicited recommendation.
