Prologue (from novel) Death Doesn't Come Easy
(a few months
earlier)
My Name is Harold Lory. You may or
may not know me by my business name: Harry Long. My friends call me Handsome
Harry, although I’m not necessarily fond of that handle. I'm a writer, and a
filmmaker—specifically a director. You may or may not have seen some of my
films: "Poolside With Clare," "Lolicka," "Master Bates
Shuns the Blues," "The Box Installer," just to name a few. I
make porn; adult entertainment if you will (or at least I did) and right now,
because of the rather large dead woman on the floor of my living room, I'm
considering a move: a career change perhaps.
People often asked why I do it. If you've seen my work you already know that
there is always a love story involved; maybe that has something to do with it.
It seems to me most people think, or want to hear it is because I can live
vicariously through the characters I invent. The reality is; or at the least my
reality, I do it because it is what I was meant to be. You see we all have a calling. We are a part
of something bigger. The universe if you
will. It drives us. It motivates us. It forms our being. Most people spend their entire lives trying
to figure out their purpose; their reason for existence. I am one of the
fortunate ones. I found mine at an early age . . . I just didn't know it.
So that is where we should probably
begin. It's always best to start from the
beginning and, in this case, it will be no different. continue reading . . .
