*Author's note*

Some people might notice that this has been done before. Well kinda. I was in the process of creating a story that was to be similar to this one, however it came to a halt after the death of a very good friend of mine. Actually, she was probably the most important friend I could have ever wanted. Moving on from my self-pity, I have always been thinking about where I wanted that story to go and how it would take dramatic turns (not plot dramatic) to get it there. After letting my mind settle and surrounding myself with beautiful and influential music, I've finally obtained the will and creative ingenuity to come through with this story. Characters will no longer seem to have tunnel vision and be one-dimensional as I saw myself creating them. I want to take aspects from the life I have lived and from the lives others have lived as well and blend them together to create something unique and beautiful and hopefully enjoyable in the eyes of those who choose to read this. I appreciate and thank anyone and everyone who takes the time to experience the flow of imagination that my mind weaves into these simple words so that I may create an expansive world full of life and love.
