Lane von Herzen: Messaging from Brandan Pesa to Tom Lyons

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Messaging from Brandan Pesa to Tom Lyons

OIG Hotline, Brandan Pesa appears to be genuinely afraid of prison regarding the trafficking issue I brought to your attention early this morning. Accordingly, I believe it is likely that he recently messaged Tom Lyons regarding one or more "appointments" pertaining to the victim involved. I think these men can be caught if their messaging is immediately examined through phone company records, and I would recommend that they be pursued aggressively in the establishment of their guilt beyond any doubt.

This is unusual content that was sent to my gmail inbox when I was attempting to alert your Office about these alleged crimes this morning. It seems to me, given the black and white coloration of the work, that there is a suggestion of prison life within this painting.
