The Hermit

What if you could find out information on who you were in your last/previous life? In his debut short story, author Jeffrey Paul Howard writes of how he discovered just such a means to do so, and how he came to learn of his previous self, a man only to be known as, The Hermit. Follow along on both The Hermits, and authors, journey, as he shares right along with the reader, how it is he came to be knowledgeable of his prior self, and the story of his oft heartbreaking past life. From his early days as an orphan in New York City, The Hermits odyssey of struggles to get by and survive, usually by any means possible, even adapting his appearance in order to do so, leading to a life of isolation, interspersed by recurring brushes with the law, and loves found, how did his life end up? What remnants of his life still exists with the author now? What lessons are to be taken away from, and applied to the authors current life today? From the life he once lived, the man he once was, The Hermit.
