“I had a vastlibrary at my father’s home and collected thousandsof volumes of fantastic tales. I learned all about ancient races and bygonetimes. About myths and legends and dreams of allpeople through the millennium. And the more I readthe stronger my imagination grew until I discoveredthat I was able to travel into the stories... to actuallybecome part of them.

Now I am trapped in that ancient past.MoreLess
