preface
Of course these are the notes the fragments of the common thread between the three women with names altered, places in vague flourishes of description, and dates, well they could only be hazarded at in order to make identification impossible and that is just how my lawyers and I would like it. Of course it took me quite some time to work it all out as an ensemble, I did not meet the three women all at once, and little would have given me suspicion if it were not for the uncanny resemblance in detail. From a medical perspective the three women were indeed suffering from the same rejection which resulted in projections of similitude. I could not validate the facts of the matter, so from the very beginning I was working on a piece of fiction. Whether the women themselves were fiction I could never divine via lines formal or incidental there appeared no link whatsoever as to suggest that the three were conspiring in a medical hoax. Here, tant pis, for what is a story but a hoax of reality? So best make it a good hoax, the best one can. Odd then that I am here in the preface.
