He was a mystery. There were only a select few who knew his name, just as there were few who actually knew who he was.

This story is, for all intents and purposes, the first real piece of writing I've committed to in a long time. And even that hasn't stopped me from neglecting it, fretting over it, and generally degrading it in casual conversation. However, the few who have read it suggested I upload it here, so here it is. If this story gets well received, I'll continue updating. If not, well, that's that, folks.
