The Juliette Society, Book III

  I’m not just talking about the things I did, but about the things I fantasized and dreamed about. The places my subconscious led me. Because it all comes from the same place at its core.

  Why would I topple the bricks someone built on my own foundation? When a tree is sick you cut out the diseased boughs, you don’t hack down the whole thing and burn it to ashes. But from time to time, you need to plant seeds so new things can grow. Trees are good, forests are better. There’s safety in numbers. There’s experience in numbers.

  Knowledge is power. Sex is the great equalizer.

  And I sent you this book you’re reading right now for a reason. Because I see in you the same things they saw in me.

  So, what do you say? Do you have what it takes to join me on the next step? Me? I’ll be with you in spirit, for these events happened to me long ago. They’re fresh for you, ancient history to me. I’ve moved on to other things.

  But The Juliette Society? My journey’s ending but yours is just beginning…

  If you’re ready for it.
