《Talis Man》23 | A Preface to the Preface
Advertisement
“...Amen, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken of, in memory of her.”
Matthew 26; The anointing at Bethany
There are moments in life you are changed forever. Even in the perverse, light still shines. Still guides us towards goodness.
The measure of a man is what he does with power.
Plato
When I was nine, I wrote letters to the tooth fairy, not because I lost my teeth but I thought she needed them. Thought she was lonely without all the fanfare.
“Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom does not enter…”
The Reward of Righteousness; 1.4
Levon told me the tooth fairy was really mom and dad but I wrote them letters anyway. Levon said, “Better tales exist.”
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
Plato
Is it ridiculous to ask you to believe my world exists?
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth. In [his] humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Acts 8; Philip and the Ethiopian

The Caring Dungeon
NOTE: I, as an 'author' am on a(n) (indefinite?) Hiatus. Without getting into too many details, the person who convinced me to write, who was my muse and my everything, is no longer in my life. I think about writing and I get physically ill and ache in ways that transcend the physical. I want to want to write, but I cannot find the energy. Life events, combined with apparently thin-skin when it comes to personal attacks on this platform, make it impossible for me. The messages, comments, and reviews I recieve(d) were so detrimental to my mental health that I've already removed one story from this website. This one remains up only because the criticisms located in this work are about my writing, and not personal attacks.I just felt like I should put something out there for anyone who is thinking about starting this story. It is not completed. I don't know that it ever will be at this point. I have lost my muse.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Not everything in this world is natural, and it's only natural to fear the unnatural. Fortunately for Manning, he was natural.
