Author's Note

Dear Readers,

If you don't like reading theses or book reports, you might not like this one either.

You found yourself on a book of horror. To increase the chance of enjoyment, better go to Wattpad's Dark Theme in which the paper becomes black, and letters become white. And I have to say and emphasize this, there's a heck lots of poetry and other cultural (Italian) words, phrases exhibited by the story and I don't really expect readers to understand them (but I do write definitions below if this is needed), and that's what makes it fun and exciting, you can't know what's inside the box until you open. The story or lore dates back somewhere between 18th-19th century.

Now, the question, 'Why Italian?' is crucial to the story. First and foremost, before schizophrenia was known, it was first a a different word, in Italy, it meant, 'premature Alzheimer's disease,' but this doesn't really answer the question. Second, the idea of 'Neoplatonism' was known to Italy, by, you guessed it, Plato himself. Neoplatonism came to be supported by the famous Italian painter Leonardo de Vinci and this inspired him (correct me if this is wrong) to make the Vetruvian Man, the naked man that had four legs and four arms and stood inside a square and a circle. The meaning of the Vetruvian Man is deep and broad, which is why it's widely shown on art, because it doesn't just touch upon art. Anyway, Neoplatonism is the idea that human beings cuts the universe in half, to both good and evil, and it speaks of a hierarchy of such (good and evil) where God sits atop it, and very beneath of the rank are sinful creatures like demons. Leonardo protrayed the same meaning on Vetruvian Man, that man fits perfect on two things that cannot be converted or somewhat opposite, and on this case, squares and circles (blame the pi).

Now, I know what you're thinking, 'So what?' Those that had been said would support the story a lot (or if you skimmed through the paragraph, maybe the story will support on . . . itself?). It doesn't really make the reader more knowledgeable or less clumsy, it just explains why there are rythms, odd figures or anything like that. At this point, I might've spoiled you a little bit into the mind of the story so I have end the note here.
