Courage, Dear Heart.

You don't know the story I'm telling - breathed out in golden shimmers and the faint scent of sandalwood.
Can you hear it? The resonant whispers of something great to come?

I know it aches. 

I know it echoes from the emptiness.

I know.

And I see.

Oh, Dear Heart.

Courage.

I should have been changing my tune the moment I saw him stroll across my living room floor, with his troglodytic face melted into an emotion approximating happiness.

 He was well-kept- nattily attired even - in a linen suit and straw derby. But it only made him appear more incongruous with his surroundings. There was no hope of him proving to be a fantasm once the odiferous stench that accompanied his promenade wafted over to the couch.

In retrospect, I really should have known.

The garden gnomes had returned.
