With masterful skill, the puppeteer deftly manipulated delicate strings, but little did the audience know that the marionettes were mere reflections of their own hopes, fears, and desires. As the puppeteer breathed life into these wooden figures, they embodied the human condition, showcasing the complexities of emotions and the interplay of destiny and free will. With each graceful movement, the strings whispered the stories of the puppeteer's own heart, echoing the universal experiences shared by all who witnessed the mesmerizing performance. In the puppeteer's artistry, they found a mirror that reflected their own journey through the labyrinth of existence.

Logic and reason are not always explanation enough.
Logic and reason are not always explanation enough. Understanding is elusive He sat looking at the half empty glass but not seeing it, he was cold but not feeling it, he was in pain but not hurting from it. His mind was numb, his memory a jumble of conflicting events, as if from a nightmare but were in fact real. The phone rang for a long time before it gained his attention and then he tried to turn it off, an automatic reaction against coming back to reality. His mind preferred the numbness to anything else that was available. In this distracted state he accidentally accepted the call and put it onto speaker, the voice from the speaker jolted him into giving it his full attention. This was a call from the dead. The voice was full of concern, “where are you John, why haven’t you called, what is going on?” Even to his own ears his tone sounded subdued, defeated, “I am in the cabin, in the woods but I am OK will call you later” and he turned the phone off both ending this call and not accepting any other.
