Present Day ~ July 12, 2011

Once upon a time, Caesar left me a letter, a threat in the cover of darkness. In the bite of winter. He left me a message that I couldn't ignore. On the back of a photograph, that would become my map.

And I didn't ignore it. I ran on account of his words. Those words have circled in my mind for months.

Once upon a time, Caesar gave me a mission. I accepted this mission because I had no other choice, but I've failed it.

I knew he was coming for me; I knew he was looking for me. I was still hiding.

I knew I was running out of time.

~~~

Once upon a time, he finds me again. Tonight, in the town I thought was safe. He finally catches up to me after all of this time.

And this time, he leaves me another letter.
