Whoa.
It’s four months since I started the blog, maybe more since my
life turned interesting, and what have I put up here? Nameless, faceless
people, a nameless locale, and a probably much less than presentable narrator
with no clue on where he’s going.
So: another introduction.
Hello all. I started this blog on December 2011 with the name
From St Martin’s Land (not sure why
now). I post here under the screen name Journeyman Shoemaker, which shares
initials with my real name. I am a male high school (equivalent) student and
currently live with my mother and my older sister, who happens to be a year
above me. I enjoy the occasional speculative fiction, upbeat music, excitement
and yoghurt. I used to have friends, good friends even. I took long walks on
evenings and blurry pictures on family outings, I tried to talk classmates into
liking my favourite bands, I collected cheap hats and not that long before this
all began I worked on a study guide assignment for my English class.
Just a few weeks before it started, there would honestly be
little reason for me to start a blog, but, well… I sort of like to write about
myself a lot. Long story short, my dad disappeared, and signs would indicate
that these things some call the Fears are involved. Since then the family’s
tried to move on (bar some hindrances), and to be honest I’d intended to write
about more mundane things here back when I began. Heh.
Circumstances took more interesting turns and strange things
started coming in, this time usually related to a nearby bookstore, now to be referred
to as Sarie Marais for the sake of
convenience. Which brings us to Mother Elder and Father Willow, an old couple
living nearby but as of late exceedingly hard to reach. This couple, who have
also gained access to the blog (for what I can only hope are savoury purposes),
are as far as I know quite knowledgeable on the subject of the Fears, though I
don’t know how much. They’ve been quite enigmatic figures themselves, meaning
that for the time being I hope that my trust lies where it ought to.
So far they’ve been the foremost source of clues and
information, most of which looks a tad suspicious. But I don’t exactly have
anyone else on my side, so… yeah.
Hope that cleared a few things up. Have music.
