Prologue

City: New York Year: 2009

He sat there just staring at the beautiful woman in the faded picture he held. More a sketch really, it had been drawn well over two hundred years ago, by a man named Endymion. In fact the man was the author of the worn book on his desk. It wasn't a storybook like he'd originally thought, but a very strange journal. When he had first found the book a week ago at a bazaar during one of his trips to Madagascar, he had known it was special. There was something very important about this journal that called to him and he felt somehow connected to the book when he picked it up. But this man, Endymion, had lived almost two hundred years ago and there's no way he could have known him. It just felt right that he had to have this book. So far he had not found anything significant in it to give him any clue as to why he'd felt that way. It was full of things one would write in a journal, travel plans, business meetings, friends and parties. There were even some references to this pretty girl or that one, but nothing to set off the possessive feelings he had felt when he had seen the book.

Sighing tiredly, he sat forward in his chair to set down the picture and pick up the journal and opened it to the last entry. Reading the date he paused, and realized that the last entry was dated six months after the previous one, while all the other entries are no more than one week apart. It does not make sense; the journal had shown that Endymion who was every bit of a dedicated writer had missed six months of writing. As he placed the journal back on his desk, he wondered what could have happened in the span of six months and had kept him from writing in that period. Maybe there is more to this journal than meets the eye; maybe, just maybe this will give him some sort of clue to as why he had felt such possessiveness towards this journal. A clue indeed, so picking up the journal once again, he continued his reading.

Ok so that's it. The Prologue to my second story complete and.....short I know, but this is just a taste so I hope you all liked it and will read chapter one next time. Well that's it for now please review I love knowing what people think about my work even if they don't like it. Criticism just makes me want to work harder to do the best I can.

Bye
