This issue's theme is Obsession

An idea takes hold and refuses to be dismissed your life becomes ruled by this concept whether you want it to or not, whether it's good for you or not. You resist, you indulge, you let it to consume, you break free of its shackles. It feels like passion, desperation, ecstasy, and torment, all at once. 

For this issue of RipRap, we are looking for pieces that grapple with, address, re-define, and push past the idea of an obsession. While obsessions are generally viewed as disturbing, they don't have to be, and we are especially interested in pieces that explore this concept in alternative ways than the macabre. 

Send one fiction piece up to 1500 words.
