Hayden Chance
Hayden Chance was born with the insane notion that he came here to bring magic back into the world.
At 30 he discovered, much to his chagrin, that there was not a world of enchantment living behind the dusty shelves of University offices and libraries the way children’s books had sworn there was. What did live there was mold, contact dermatitis, angry women who hated Shakespeare for being a man and pale introverts with non-gender specific names who liked vegetarian Pad Thai.
Unimpressed by these discoveries he decided to leave teaching forever and strike out for a life of adventure!
He believes in showing the numinous behind the mundane. The mystical in the everyday lives of men and women (and animals). And he believes that truth is best received wrapped in a tortilla of laughter. (Did you like that poetic imagery?)
He is a Virgo, is vehemently against political correctness and knows how to kill in three seconds. Seven seconds if he hasn’t had his coffee yet.
“What is a ‘woman like you’? Saying it that way suggests you have no choice in the matter. That you’ve been cast in this role as a victim. They may want us to be victims, Alena, but we don’t have to agree to the role.”
“Tony looked around at the canvases and said: “You do not let anyone or anything stop something like this from blossoming in the world. To deny the world beauty like this is a sin, Brian.”
