Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cameron, an Ordinary High-School Student who enjoys a joint and an LP more than other people's company, is cruising through his 16th year of life with low expectations.Then, he starts seeing fire giants and guys in freaky black armor and finds out he's dying of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (mad cow disease).Fortunately, a bit of hope arrives in the form of Dulcie, an angel with a chocolate addiction, a hatred for snowglobes, and good taste in punk outfits. She tells him that in order to live, he has to find Dr. X, who tried to open a portal into an alternate dimension and ended up pulling dark energy through, which is what caused all of Cam's new problems. So he embarks on an insane road trip with Gonzo, a death-paranoid gamer dwarf, and meets along the way a lawn gnome who happens to be the Norse god Balder. Their mission? Save the world, get a cure for Cam, and maybe even discover what really matters in life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Written by Libba Bray. | |

Afterlife Antechamber: It's the Small World ride at Disney World! Guess Cameron's five-year-old instincts were right. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Going Bovine / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Balder's backstory explains that when he was a child, his mother asked everything in the world not to harm him, and everything agreed except the mistletoe bush because it was too young to understand. As you might expect in a story about random coincidences (or if you're familiar with his actual story), this ends tragically. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Going Bovine / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Cows show up continually and randomly, from the meditating cow mascot of the Buddha Burger (which, in addition to being seen at Buddha Burger itself, appears stenciled on Dulcie's wings and falling from the sky in the thousands like snow), to the brown-and-white "support Cameron" ribbons sold at his school, to imaginary Mrs. M's cow print apron, to Cameron's mad cow disease itself. The cow seems to represent to absurdity of the whole situation: The happy Buddha cow is selling beef hamburgers, the people putting up ribbons for Cameron don't know him or never liked him, Mrs. M is still wearing her hospital gown and plastic wristbands as she gardens, and the CJ is a thoroughly unromantic, almost ridiculous, disease that subtracts a little of the tragedy from the whole "dying young" thing, and strikes out of nowhere, without any apparent cause or reason.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Alleged Car: The Rocinante! Cost $3000 and some bribery, spray painted, falling apart, and has bull horns tied to the hood with wire. | |
