I've just been listening to Laura's (Simms) Fish Tales with my kids. There
is a surprising story on there with Flounder and Crab (I think)- who start
out as friends and end up as enemies. Told with rap background and Laura
using her edgy/cool voice.

I'm not sure on the work of your group or history together, but that story
seemed to come straight from a highschoolers life- with an imaginative
twist. (Thats my first association anyway).

Maybe it could become the diving board for your group to develop similar
stories with their own voice in them. Providing the great combination of
distance and closesness that story makes so potent.

Good luck,
David
