      Un-Requited - Neil Trivet

      Prologue

      Excerpt from Jim Johns’ Document;

      I should never have met her, looking back. For, I recall her demeanor towards me were of disinterest and reluctance, a pale contrast from her cheerful enthusiasm with Jon, or Anne or any of her numerous associates.

      Chapter A: The Road

      Another evening. The breeze blowing, trees shedding, no one in the yards. The college buildings in sight, in silence, their thick glasses shuddering with rare gusts of wind and their faint shadows cast forth on the warm sands by the glow of the low sun.

And adjacent right exterior to this gate, mostly of a dusty character, concrete slabs of coarse textures and bone dry surfaces were distributed in rows and columns in uniform alignment as the seating in a theater awaiting the great exhibition of an approaching night. College students haunted these slabs on evenings of the semesters before withdrawing for the session break, on an evening much glorious than this, several weeks ago.

And it was telling from the might with which he raised his arms and waved them at the approaching taxis, and watched the highways with expectant eyes; that he was in no patience to withdraw from the solitude of the evening in the side street.

      To his utter indignation, the taxis never pulled over, despite blaring their
