The Rule of Won
Stefan Petrucha
The secret of The Rule of Won is simple, yet its power has been suppressed for generations. The universe is one of infinite abundance—ask, and you shall receive.Umm, yeah right.  Meet Caleb Dunne, slacker extraordinaire. Caleb prefers to glide through life with the minimal amount of effort, so he isn’t too jazzed when his overachieving girlfriend, Vicky, convinces him to join a new school club based on a controversial book, The Rule of Won. Slackers don’t join school clubs, do they?  As The Rule gains popularity, though, the club members start to gain power within the school. From dark posts on the club’s online message board to all-out threats in the hallways, it becomes apparent that the group is getting out of control. For slacker Caleb, though, the only thing worse than doing something is not doing something. Darkly funny and exceptionally thought-provoking, The Rule of Won, inspired by the ideas behind books like the runaway hit The Secret, shines a light on the dangers of group thinking and the inner desires that can sometimes get the best of us all.

Profile Picture

Caleb Dunne is a self-pronounced slacker. After his brush with the law last winter, his overly-motivated semi- girlfriend Vicky insists that he begin attending craves. These are meetings for the new club modelled after the popular book The Rule of Won. At first, Caleb embraces the way and is ready to imanifest until his brain falls out, but before long, the group starts to take on an almost cult-like appearance and Caleb opts out. This seemingly harmless idea that you can get whatever you want by just believing starts a movement that gains popularity throughout Screech Neck High.
