TheSignal

I asked a question. I was shown the door.

I could have kept quiet. I wrote. To the people whose job it is to read. Then I waited, though not for very long.

Saying what anyone can check comes at a price, and I did not know the rate.

What came next, I had not planned for. So this book tells it in order, day after day, the way I lived it.

I am neither a hero nor a victim in it. I am a man who counts, who dates, who writes everything down. Memory comes and goes, and my wife deserves that I keep the record. And my father taught me to finish what I start.

If you have ever believed you were right too early, you know what I am talking about.

They took a lot from me. I have everything else left. It's all in here.
