A gift is not an obligation. It is not a transaction. It is given freely, without expectation.
This book is my gift.
To my first 2,000 followersโthose who have walked with me since the beginning, those who have endured the weight of my long-form works, those who have proven themselves as more than fleeting onlookersโthis is for you. A thank-you, bound in ink and blood. Unlike The Red Ledger, there are no restrictions on comments beyond the expectation of human decency. This space is open, but it is not for the faint of heart.
I have always preferred writing long-form contentโnovellas, novels, stories that devour you whole. The follower specials were once meant to be simple, brief acknowledgments, but I chose to give you more. Instead of a single 15k-word story, I offer entire novels. This is my way of expressing gratitude, not through grand gestures or empty words, but through the raw honesty of my craft.
If you are new, take your time. Read my other works. See if you can endure them. If you remain, you will understand why this book exists.
But understand this: trust is not freely given. It is earned. This is why I will not be writing follower specials beyond this for some time. I do not write for money. I do not write for clout. I do not write to be treated as a content machine. I write because I choose to share my work, and because I know that for some, these stories are more than just fiction. They are a form of catharsis, of escape, of something deeper.And so, I give you Corpus Delicti.
