After Today

He didn't make his choice alone. What fun or purpose existed, otherwise, in love? London interlaced her fingers into Wyatt's, giving him the only answer he needed. She held the hand of a man with conviction, his heart always known but until that fated day, truly untested. He wasn't a soldier, nor a man of wealth or influence. Wyatt Shaffer was merely a young man living on simple terms.

He liked to think, he did what had to be done. They both did, but her heart and support opened up the world of possibilities. Together, they might break free, live to see a day where The Immutable Laws held no dominion or influence over their lives. Promised to one another where oaths run deep and blood binds, where eternity isn't enough and sweetness grows with age, Wyatt and London left Sigil Bay with nothing more than Mid-West hopes on an aunt's promise.

A narrative, less about the grand scheme and more to do with out of sorts people colliding with the unexpected, breathes between us. Their story as fleeting as the evening news for some, forgotten before their heads hit the pillow. For others, like you and me-curious minds and thoughtful people- well, we're reminded and struck by a great many things in our dealings with Wyatt and London. More about that later, you'll see. Same as you'll see, sometimes the world just doesn't give a damn, evil lurks between in equal measure.

After today, I'll give y'a an hour a day to tell Wyatt and London's tale for better or worse. See why they left, how they loved, and go the distance from the catbird's seat. Witness it firsthand and from the fringes. Life can't afford you the vantages of others, but this cautionary tale unveils the hearts and minds of all involved.
