The Pathless On Paths---------Chapter I

Memories“Now, what you are about to hear may to you seem at times absurd and far-fetched, for you, though we are of similar age, after all were born nigh an entire age after I was, and your vague knowlege of the past came mostly from the misty and at times unreliable memories of elderly men. I will give you my first-hand account, in the way that it, as the truth, deserves to be told. This, you may say, is my story, and you will be the first to hear it in such detail." Karson had dropped the often present smile upon his face as he made his remark, for he knew more than perhaps anyone how serious the tale that he is about to tell is. He must be grim in its telling, for it in itself is grave and sorrowful.
