However, what the guild veterans do not know-and what the Goddess of Trickery hides under lock and key-is that this seemingly harmless "little sheep" carries a deadly secret.

With his golden bow in hand and his scent guided by the Dungeon's winds, he has a single objective: to find and take down the strongest prey the abyss has to offer. The hunt has begun. And even the monsters must learn to look up.

Full disclosure... I wrote this story years ago during the 1980s when still in college. It started as a class journaling project. As disclosed in the story, the writing was motivated when I attended Kim's wedding, the friend from the story who was Vickie's roommate and, to this day, her lifelong friend. There were recent tweaks made to the content, near its end, that were influenced by the style of a favorite author, Sam Shepard. In general, the story is about those moments in life that shape us and is a journey through young love. Enjoy-

Maybe these aren't really my letters. Maybe they're yours, too. So if you ever find yourself reading these words and thinking, "This is exactly what I've been feeling," then maybe this letter was never meant to stay unsent. Maybe it was meant to find you.
