I am continuing to write daily, averaging about a page a day. Our now 28 year old hero has been sentenced to spend his lifetime in seclusion -- in a cave -- and Chapter Three is about what has taken place in the first ten years of his supposed isolation. He and his "One," Lone Bird, now have a three year old daughter, so I leave it to you, Dear Reader, to surmise how that might have happened in his decade of imposed loneliness.
When a man looks across a street, sees a pretty girl, and waves at her, that's not a rendezvous, that's a passing acquaintance. When he walks across the street and nibbles on her ear, that's a rendezvous!
