instruction, scheme, ruse

timeline: Dec 2015

It started out as an unusual letter in our mail box.  

The envelope was properly addressed without a return address.  Inside was another envelope.  

The inner packet was addressed properly, however it was stamped “received undeliverable” with a date stamp of 05/03/00.  This is unusual because the address I live at was not purchased until ’11.

Now the questions arise and I look keener at the envelope.  I see the postmark from GLOS (Gloucester) with an English stamp.

Righto, you got my attention.  

The letter has a date of 4 February 2000.  The short of the letter is: ‘protect the stuff inside as others are trying to destroy this information’.  There are some pages of a play; The King in Yellow.

Well…shit.

Looks like I got some stuff to look up…

rant, start, type.

So, do I start at the beginning; when the first 'gift' was delivered, and the wonder of what was going on started a curiosity that I had lost for decades?

Do I talk about my curiosity? 

 Interest that began as a teenager and blossomed in college; then as jobs, the daily grind of living paycheck to paycheck strained my free time, my prying mind faded.  Until the concern I had, became apathy; just books, notes and papers packed away in boxes.

Well…shit.

 This is a blog.  I can take my time.  Write as a flow of consciousness, or just go back and forth as my mind journeys across memories.

As many authors have stated, just write something, anything.  Okay.
