    Summary

    In a world where the Great Gatsby is instead a memoir by Nick Carraway that was launched into fame right after his death, and lauded for the themes of American idealism and the gaudy nature of the 1920s many people have held it as one of the greats. Of course questions still linger in the minds of English students; was Nick true about his story, and was he really that fucking gay?
    An English Lit grad student heads up to Nick’s old home in West Egg only to discover something that shows the true colors of the memoir.

    Summary

    I somehow ended up finding myself on her dock, looking closely at that green light that had been making me miserable for weeks now. God only knew how long it had made Gatsby feel like this. I made my way to the edge of the dock and promptly swung the heavy mace towards the beacon. glass shattered around me as the light glimmered one last time. This is how Gatsby's dream died, this is how I killed it. This is how I rid myself of my own mysery.
