   ----------------------------------- ---> ## Introduction

   I'm somewhat of a loner and I enjoy my solitude.

   My friends and family think I'm weird.  My neighbors  -" who I couldn't
tell you their names if you attempted to beat them out of me  -" probably
think I'm some crazy weird psycho.  You know the type: quiet, reserved,
always keeps to himself.

   Hell, I even have my front-door roped-off, but that's mainly to thwart
Jehovahs Witnesses, Mormons, and kids selling magazine subscriptions for
school from bothering me while I'm either working or fapping.

   I know.  I either sound like a serial killer or a pedophile.  But I'm
neither!  No desire to go all Dexter on anyone, and I prefer my love
interests to be at least eighteen-years-old, thank you very much!

   So when my doorbell rang that fateful day last year I was a little
miffed that someone had defeated the passive-barrier I had erected in front
of my porch to repel neighbors, strangers, and would-be visitors from
approaching my house.  Little did I know that the two individuals I would
meet that night would profoundly change me in ways I couldn't possibly
imagine then, and now.
