For as long as stories have been told, we’ve had a peculiar fascination with the wayward among us, with those we call the fools.

This is the story of Brad Gobright, one such anomaly who shone for us all a most special and unending light.

About The Author

Amateur wave rider, runner, and registered nurse, LUCAS ROMAN lives in Costa Mesa, CA, with his partner of many years. He studies all things, has hopes for all things, and fancies himself an aficionado of low bottoms and hallowed spaces. Convinced of the profundity of foolishness and potency of new beginnings, his writing is an attempt to triangulate that which is ever present but never still: the human condition. He strives for habits that enable singular expressions, which last a lifetime, but never stay too long. He writes for his friend, Jeremy, and his partner, Nathalie.

 
 
 
  • For as long as stories have been told, we’ve had a peculiar fascination with the wayward among us, with those we call the fools. Our histories are flush with those who stand at the edge of reason, of those who see what others cannot. Among the archetypes, the Greater Fool holds a most special place within the canon. Standing there unphased after the dust and the punchlines settle, the Greater Fool is the one who hangs on when all others let go, the one who turns into the storm when all common sense and foot traffic points the other way. Where the world around them sees only an empty promise, the Greater Fool maintains there is yet worth to be discovered still. Intrepid and unwitting as they may be, they’re also the ones we need. As irony would have it, in every Greater Fool there’s just enough magic to pull us back in their direction. Just enough light for truth to shine an arc of redemption. This is the story of Brad Gobright, one such anomaly who shined for us all a most special and unending light.
