Ryan Ivan Phaidon¿s path through life, much like our own, consisted of a series of phases, events, short stories. You know, through the various schools and university, a career, retirement and eventually - death.
Ryan¿s mother died in childbirth, his grandmother was taken shortly afterwards. His father, grandfather and their housekeeper were left to shape his life. But then, along came young Mary, his governess.
A very special relationship was to develop with Mary, Paedophilia? Who¿s to say? Certainly not Ryan. It was a relationship that was to last throughout his marriage to Catherine and the erotic encounters with the visiting ghosts of his dreams.
Almost from birth Ryan knew he was different, his psychic awareness and that Presence by his side¿Was it all a dream world of his own making?
By getting it all down in writing in this journal, is Phaidon attempting to clear his cluttered brain, expunge the nightmares in an attempt to find normalcy? Or is it simply his way of seeking absolution for his own misdeeds, his telling of it, a sort of confessional?...Then again, is this presentation of it, a warning for us all?
