PURSUIT: A Novel – Prologue

Jerry— 

How do I know you? When I think of you, I don’t picture what you look like. When I close my eyes, I don’t see your face. I feel you. Your presence is like a soft breeze brushing my arms like willowy wafts caressing fields of wheat. Or the comfy cozy ambiance of a fire, orange coals shimmering, waves of warmth caressing my face. Or my favorite blankie, a soft cocoon of security that woos me to slumber in peace. Or the aroma of well-worn leather blended with an earthy bouquet of coffee, a manly mix of strength fused with fortitude. When you speak, a mellow baritone soothes my soul and opens windows of imagination, a landscape of dreams and hopes and assurance that the best is yet to come. Yes, that’s it, Jerry, you are the best that is yet to come, and I long for your return.
