Greetings to you all.
My true name is Charles and I am a thorny old man. I have dwelled in the house of mortal men for fifty one years now. Some of joy, too many of pain. Little have I learnt in that time, and the lesson to hold my tongue is not among the few I have mastered. My wife of half my life has bestowed upon me four children, progeny most fine. Of them two exceed the age of majority and two do not. My youngest, and forever my baby, is an aunt herself and proud of that exalted status. Eden, her niece, serves me well as inspiration and is largely featured in perhaps the only other thing I have ever created, something I will not name but which lies silently beckoning from below, beneath a fine black line.
And that, is the face upon which you chose to gaze, your motive likely not to read but, as mine, to respond and in so doing to step one rung higher on the ladder of fifty steps we all climb.
