The Stark Reality.......
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse.........
The River...Bruce Springsteen
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse.........

Every good route has a starting point and this right here is not it. This a story told in pictures and words so let the page fully load and go all the way to the bottom where it begins....
Do not start here. Start at the bottom. Trust me, it will make more sense.
