A l l J e n s e n w a n t e d w a s t o b e w e l l . * * * * * * * If you want to know the purpose of this story and my reason for writing it please read the next paragraph(s): This story is for me more than it is for you. I'm putting my writing to practice in order to cultivate and hone my skill as a growing writer. Since there are other projects that are more of my center of focus this one won't be carefully or thoroughly edited. Nor have I put intensive research into subjects that may relate to the story. Considerable time will not be spent on it either. To be quite honest, I have no idea exactly where this story is going and I can't say whether it will be worth the read or a rewarding read. It's entirely up to you to decide that. So I'm not going to vouch for something I wrote merely because I wrote it. I want to see what I will come up with. I want to see how I'll swim, when I throw myself into the largest of seas, the sea of imagination and creation. I can say however, based off what I've written so far it will be a dark, quiet, oddly paced, and gloomy piece. At least, that's how I feel when I write this story and that's what I see although the full vision isn't quite there yet. It's slowly focusing into clarity like a camera lens or your vision when you just wake up. If the exploration of darker themes bother you or make you uncomfortable to an unbearable degree, then I don't think I would recommend this.

Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!
