Self-Deception

There are so many similar things in the world, but they are always the same. I saw someone's familiar figure more than once, but every time I turned around, it was another unfamiliar face; I can always find scenes in my memory at other times and places, but this is not that time and place, and I am no longer a character in the story. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
