gasping for air the world you hold in your hands , has come to an end , the stories all told , the problems all solved , maybe you 've learned , then again maybe you have n't , there 's a general theme here , that 's strung throughout this work , my challenge to you , is to find that link , i promise you it 's there , and it 's easier to find then you think , the world revolves around words , these words strung into stories , that tell a lot of what we think , sometimes all too much , everyone has a story to tell , just look through this book , these are my stories , that i 've chosen to share , and like a lot of the things i 've done , i leave you with this question , challenge the known , and walk headlong into the darkness , begin writing your own tales , and telling your own stories , and it 's easy to see once you 've found what your good at , because you will write for hours , and eventually the pages will fill , words will flow , and the ideas will be your own , thousands of words later you 'll have a story , that will be all your own , these stories will be worth sharing , because by the end of the writings , if done correctly , i can promise you from writer , to reader , that the pieces you writing , will leave you gasping for air , afterward : the nightmares that live now that you 've read through this , and hopefully enjoyed at least a few of the things that i had to offer you i 'd like to explain a little about where they all came from .
