ARIADNE
I'm not altogether positive how to begin this story.
I guess I could start with an anecdote, or open with a mystery. One of those two would be certain to capture the attention of whomever may be reading this, but I wouldn't feel confident that my point had gotten completely across.
I read somewhere that Shakespeare opened Romeo and Juliet by telling the audience that the play ended with them both dead. I won't be as straightforward as Mr. Shakespeare himself, but I do believe I owe you some sort of disclosure. A warning.
This is not a love story.
This is a story about love, and how it drove me to brilliant madness, but it is not a love story.
This is a tragedy.
I ask you to tread on with caution, to see my story for what it really is: devastating. Do not let the illusion of love blind you from the world around you; from the truth.
This is the story of how I fell in love.
This is the story of how I lost myself.
