Abstract
This paper begins by outlining the theoretical and methodological contexts for the use of autoethnographic short stories in the human sciences. This sets the scene for the second part of the paper, an autoethnographic short story based on the first author's memories of his early life. In part three, some of the significant issues raised in the story are discussed in relation to larger, co-evolving, social, cultural and therapeutic frameworks from a reflexive and narrative identity perspective.
