Came to in a canoe on a river, wrapped in a blanket, clutching this journal. I have a paddle, fruit, water, a map and a compass but no clear memories of the last nine days. Don’t know how I got here or where I am.

Kidnapping, monsters, the origin of youth: it’s fantastic stuff but I have no choice but to believe the journal.

Am haunted by a dream-like image of Sally pressing the journal into my hands and closing the door to the temple, her sweet smile a goodbye as she leaves me outside. Did she really stay?

Ramón.
