When, under favorable conditions (often among groups of highly competitive, charismatic, and self-centered people), a violent hurricane of interpersonal drama forms, sucking all concerned parties into an ever-expanding spiral of senseless rumor, conjecture, happenstance, and
confusion. Those sucked in worsen the conditions of the dramacane in their attempts to find blame, or fault, or reason by trying to get to the so-called "heart of the matter". But from the "eye of
storm" it becomes clear that there isn't one.
All parties are complicit, and no one
person is to blame.
Paul won't be at work Monday; he got pulled into one of his family's dramacanes over the weekend and has yet to make it out

Don't answer that call. The dramacane at work has grown to five or
six people, at least. Cut communication if you don't want to be next.
Did you ever watch that show The
Real World? It's like a perpetual dramacane.
