Interesting depiction of insight between the story that should've continued on in the series. Though the Parker in this storyline is a lot more guarded and closed off just makes the reader wonder what else lurks in the minds of these characters among lifes everyday struggles.

Somehow this story merges into a soft fluffy aura in the end.. a cozy feeling in sharp contrast to how it started out, fragmented and cold. >"No," Charles said thoughtfully. "He doesn't fear them. He seems to be connected to them in some way, as though they share a terrible secret." I think this quote sums up their life together, perfectly. >Jarod knew that his sanity could never withstand being completely alone in the world. Also another truth concerning Jarod.. hinting to what he's been through to cure this loneliness.. Another well written story, please keep up the good work.
