Interlocking Squares: Foreword
'Why 'Interlocking Squares'? I don't know. The title just came into my head. Maybe because, one way or the other, our lives are interlinked: society is an ecology, not a contract. Or maybe because, while you can squeeze a square peg into a round hole, and most of the time it does what it's supposed to, the fact remains that it's still a square peg.
Or maybe because my brain just hit upon two random words it liked the sound of and threw them together.
Whichever it is, the story is told through the POVs of two protagonists, Vincent and Ching Juan. Vincent in third person, and Ching Juan in first person, through her journal entries (electronic, with rudimentary encryption. Not that she seriously believes anyone will go poking through them... she just wanted to mess around with encryption).
Edit: There's a saying about the best-laid plans of mice and men which is spot-on here. David wasn't originally supposed to play such a big role, but he somehow imposed himself onto the story and now he's got a voice. He insisted on it, going on strike until I gave in. He also seems to be turning into... something I never expected him to. Why am I always the last to know these things?
