Foreword:
Hello, readers. I've known a remarkable girl since she was in pigtails and braces. That girl is the protagonist in this novella and it is her story that I have constructed. Since I saw her in close quarters on a daily basis in the same profession, and since I am basically inquisitive by nature, I came to strongly suspect this here was a girl with a unique story. So, the curious cat that I am, I began sniffing around and after about half a dozen years of investigation/trolling, I commenced work on my manuscript--compelled as I felt to share her story with the world. In doing so, I have changed names in order to protect the identity of all concerned parties and people, including my own. A story too strange to be true. Except it is. Every day, I light a candle for her. Make of it what you will.
