    Not exactly -- the founder in the story is a fictional man named Tom. The author, Miracle Jones, has a website with a number of bizarre, but well-written short stories: http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/

    I absolutely love Miracle Jones' writing ( http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/ ), but thought this story was fairly lackluster. Definitely check out "Fear Boys With Dolls" ( http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/2010/07/fear-boys-with-doll... ) and "Mutamate" ( http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/2012/03/mutamate-i-decided-... ).
