An Excerpt: A Most Peculiar Man
This is from the material of about fifteen years ago. I don't know if ever I'll get the time to work it out into a novel. If I do, I'd like to call it A Most Peculiar Man. Thank you for reading!

“Superstitions are primal in nature and because they feed on instinct, having nothing but disdain for reason, they are often swift and unexpected messengers of truth.”

“. . . early sorrow is frequently made up for by an X-ray vision of life which may be as much a blessing as a curse to its possessor. It presents life in its raw nakedness, stripped completely of its vibrant, protective, comforting robes so that one either recoils from it in horror and runs for the exit, or else turns into an unsmiling ascetic of sorts.”

“And yet, can one indeed discover a man’s intentions by studying his eyes? Can one know what really goes on inside his mind, in that secret foundry where molten fancies are cast into frightful shapes? Can it not be that each one of us is at bottom the very same, having been fashioned from the same soil, and each is only waiting for the moment when time and place would adhere and he would become something else, something monstrously different? Then you would behold another being – one that looked and sounded the same, but was someone else, or perhaps something else – brutish, bestial, half human at best.”

“You see, the trouble with love is that it comes laden with cares. It consumes you in more senses than one . . . it is like an overripe fruit – it owes its heavenly sweetness to its rotting core and once enjoyed, it soon makes one sick.”
