The Adventures of Little F

Preface

The idea for this story came to me on an ordinary day when random thoughts began to form into something entirely unexpected. Just think about it: how often do we say or hear the word "fuck" without really considering its meaning or the emotional charge it carries? And then, suddenly, I thought — what if it’s not just a word, but a quirky little character? What if it’s more than just an expression of emotions?

This is how the image of the little guy Fuck was born: comical and a bit ridiculous, but always upbeat, no matter the challenges. He’s the kind of character who strides through life with confidence, despite his “stick arms” and “stick legs,” his tiny head, and his often odd decisions. He’s funny, clumsy, but that’s precisely where his charm lies.

Through his story, I wanted to show that even the most ordinary things can hold something delightful and amusing. We can look at a crude word from a new perspective, as a cute, charming character that reminds us not to take life too seriously.

One day, the little guy Fuck woke up with a very important thought — he had decided to become serious. But he had two problems: first, his head was so tiny that all serious thoughts just floated right out of it, and second, his stick arms and stick legs didn’t help much if he lost his balance.

“Today, I’m going to the office!” declared Fuck, puffing up his tiny head with pride. He marched confidently down the street, but each time someone came near, he’d stumble a bit, either with one leg or the other. On his way, he met his friend Pip, who had flippers instead of arms, and tried to greet him seriously:

“Good day, Pip! I’m off to the office; very important… uh… things await me!”

Pip looked at him for a long moment and then said, “Oh, come on, Fuck! Who’s going to hire you at an office with those stick arms? You couldn’t even hold a cup of coffee!”

But Fuck was determined. He eventually made it to the office, though he spent half the way rolling and tumbling. Once inside, he was, to put it mildly, met with surprise. The receptionist asked:

“What do you want?”

Fuck paused, thinking: “Yeah, what do I want?”

And then his tiny head lit up with a brilliant idea:

“I want… I want everyone to have as great a day as I’m having!”

And you know what? Everyone in the office laughed and realized that was the best plan for the day. From that day on, little Fuck became the company mascot: wherever he went, he instantly lifted everyone’s spirits.
