This story is meant to be read side-by-side as the sense of then and now twine round each other in the telling and recollecting. This is an experiment, and I hope that it works. If not, then I will need to take suggestions and/or find inspiration when I take it back to the drawing board.

This story is just that... a story. It is not meant to be serious historical research nor a commentary on any religious views, gospel, or opinions. I have used the names I did because they touch the creative muse that keeps this story unfolding in my mind.

Thank you, and I hope that you enjoy my words.
