This book was intentionally designed, laid out and assembled as published.
The different fonts were chosen to shed light on each story as required.
Page breaks and sentences were crafted to wear out the reader or provide pause for contemplation.

Prepare to suspend all realities and preconceptions for the best experience possible. And …

Love
the only commodity worth pursuing, and the only thing that can’t be abused
