Notes Part 1: This is my first fanfic dealing with "Forever." (I must admit I find Henry and Jo very intriguing!) I will also be taking a leap or two for my own curiosity's sake. Please bear with me.

Notes Part 2: The characters from Forever belong to ABC. Please send comments to dante0220 .

Introduction

From the Journal of Henry Morgan…..

Entry dated December 1, 2014 [New York City]

The more I think that I understand this reality, it seems that there's another twist…another turn I cannot account for. Even if I have witnessed the passing of two centuries' time, Life brings more to me. Even if I wish to sequester myself like a monk in my search of permanent death, the world binds me tighter to itself…

through Abe, my closest friend and in many ways my son

through "Adam", the unwelcome stalker and voyeur. He claims to be like me but I know this not for sure….

through Lucas, my assistant in the morgue. He is a fair chap yet his head wanders through those comic books…rubbish….

through Detective Jo Martinez, my colleague within the NYPD…She has involved me in several of her cases over the past year insisting on my part. She shares her pain and has allowed me to do the same over our deceased spouses. She is also willing to stand up to me when I get off on a tangent. She keeps me on point when we're in the field insuring that my mind remains in the here and now. I wonder though how she'd take my true nature and my search for death.

One case would test all of these relationships. A vagrant stages an ambush. Everything changes…

Question is how do we deal with it? How indeed….
