      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dedications:

      Steph

      for letting me throw ideas at you and giving me the direction i needed for being the best friend anyone could ever ask for, you never let me give up when things got rough, and believed in me and encouraged me enough to get out of my comfort zone to do this. Your the best friend anybody could ask for.

      Jason Earl

      the best person you could possibly know and have the pleasure to work with, who told me to keep writing no matter what, and told me I'm good enough to publish, and who always enjoyed my dark side.
