End of an Era

And this is the point where I stopped making entries into the Black Book. Not through design or aforethought, I just forgot about it. It faded away. A different life was being lived, with more responsibilty and concern and less socialising or opportunity. The Era passed and before I knew it we were in a new Era, the modern Era.

Who are its heroes and villains, I do not know. What came with me from the Old Era, I dare not guess.

But the passing time leaves its foot prints in the Black Book and it will record the answers, in time.

The first few marks are being made on its white centre and they will continue to do so.

The Black Book continues...
