Part 01: The Long, Dark Road He could not remember how old he was, or the last time he had felt truly clean. This was how he woke every morning, with these same thoughts.

It's often said that doctors make the worst patients and I was feeling fretful enough to prove the point.

The flames crackled and danced in the huge fireplace of Garret Manor, casting...
