Introduction

Well, it was a good run. There were highlights and there were low lights, but it all ends the same I guess. Time and Life. Reality. Or maybe some perversion of it. But they say reality is perception, so I have no choice but to digress. But two forces are rarely totally parallel. So why pretend? Perpendicularity will set in, and fortitude is tested by space alone. It couldn't have happened any other way, really. Not like this. So thanks for some good memories and bye. That is my parting wisdom. Think it through. And maybe, just maybe, three roads will cross.

I have read this paragraph so many times that I can recite it. I did not write this, a friend of mine did. This was their goodbye to me. A goodbye that I will never forget. But there is still a mystery that I am not sure I can solve.

Three roads. What does that mean? I would take it to mean my friend and I, but then who or what is the third road? Maybe the message holds the answer: time, life, reality.

This is one thing I may never know, but one thing I do know is that I will never forget this friend or the memories we made together. May three roads cross!
