Acknowledgments
By the Sunset is a fictional work set in a non-fictional capacity. Though similarly in the process of other creative works- despite the resemblances that may be seen in the writer and the characters- they are merely fragments, pieces from a mix of forgeries/ experiences, moving picture, and written words. The concept entails the creation of characters to portray a philosophy of life through love, by letting go. An artistic expression of one person's vision to a beauty of life.
As we may part and you may move forward with whatever you may do with your life, wherever you may go, it is with heartfelt sincerity that there was something imparted either in what I was writing for myself, but also with what you may have taken with you. The epilogue may be the beginning or the end. May the paths we walk intertwine once more. So long, and farewell.

Thank you for your stay along this journey. Though the work is still incomplete and will continue to grow over time, the goal is to expand beyond literature. Your stay however brief or long, is welcomed.
As the breeze of life may take us from here to there. An evening wind...
écrit pour elle.
