1. 1. Ripcord

   

   In **Ripcord**, the story unfolds around a narrator navigating life in Milwaukee, juggling bartending and catering gigs while entangled in a complicated relationship with a younger married man. As he reflects on past romantic missteps, he dreams of escape but finds himself caught between the comfort and challenges of his friendships. Charlie, an aging punk from the 1990s Chicago queercore scene, and Greer, a dedicated painter, offer him both solace and frustration as he grapples with themes of connection, class, and intimacy.
