It was about 4:45 am, and a new day was beginning to dawn. As the sun began its usual ascent on the eastern horizon, a renewed and rejuvenated Leonard sat on the mattress, nodding to himself as he scribbled furiously on a piece of paper. He had been up all night, making plans for the

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing? Will you stop slacking and give the pigs their food, damnit?” Another day in Caaran Anderton’s farm, another day for Leonard to earn some paper. And receive a whole lot of abuse while at it. Dressed in blue overalls, a big straw hat and wellington boots, Leonard was

It was 7:30 pm on a Thursday evening, and Leonard stood in front of the dressing mirror in his room, nodding as he checked his appearance. As far as he was concerned, he looked pretty good in his black shirt and jeans. And with an appearance this sharp, there was no doubt about it, a

“Leonard! Welcome to Poki!” The collective greeting of three gentlemen at the waiting area holding up a sign with his name called out as he walked out with his luggage. Leonard smiled as he saw their wide grins. Samuel. Allan. Sirus. Good to finally meet them. They were the guys he had been communicating with

It had been a tense couple of days in Hollyland Manor, in which Johannes and his sons and servants lived. Ever since the day Leonard had officially informed him of his desire to leave, and the subsequent fierce fight between the brothers, things were not smooth between them. They hardly spoke to each other, and
