Desperately Seeking Epic

Paul James loved Clara Bateman.
Hating her would have been easier.
She was the past, and he was hell-bent on keeping her there.
Or so he thought...

Craigslist Ad: DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC

You re my father.
I don t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you Epic.
I ve been told you don t know about me. That it s complicated.
But for me it s simple.
Here s the thing: I m twelve years old and I m dying.
And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go.
In time, I m sure she ll understand. She s still in love with you.
So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don t have to be my dad. You don t even have to tell me you love me or you re sorry. Just come see me.

Patiently waiting, but running out of time,

Neena
