Have you ever been sitting at a table with all your family and friends present, but you still feel like there's someone missing?

Have you ever woken up with an unexpected injury, whether it be sore joints, an unexplained shooting pain in your back, or maybe even a black eye or a swollen fist? No matter how much you try to make sense of why you feel this pain, nothing comes to mind.

I'm not going to tell you the reasons for the unexplained pains or the missing individuals, but I will tell you a story, a story that never happened, a story you wouldn't have heard even if you were there. We all were.
