Here We Go...Again
How My Light is Spent
So, I think many of you have figured out that the story within this story (Aris Morrow's book, How My Light is Spent) is a line from a poem by John Milton, a16th century blind poet. I could look for some greater theme between the poem and this serial, but guys researching poetry is hard. You have to read it multiple times to get all the meaning and it just gets complicated. I just needed a line from a blind writer and this sounded nice so...title !
But, honestly, I wouldn't look too much into the title...it was really just fulfilling my wish of using a piece of poetry as a title ala Of Mice and Men and Catcher in The Rye.
HMLIS POV 2
Another thing you may want to keep in mind (and something I'm just now realizing) the narrators are somewhat unreliable.
Oh, right. Okay, you all are going to notice A THING with a name. And it's not the Phillip name I had in the sample (who is btw no way related to LiLe.)
Chapter 2
It's a girl !
