A find unlooked for

Sometime in April 2010 I got a call from an acquaintance who owns an old building in South Philadelphia. The building is divided into four small apartments. A tenant in one of these abruptly left leaving behind clothes, personal effects, and copious notebooks filled with his writings. This man has not been seen by the landlord for over 4 months and is presumed by landlord not returning. The landlord gave me the notebooks thinking I might find an interest in them. He gave them a glancing read and found them the ramblings of a madman. The remainder of this blog will be the writings of this man, who I never met and was told by landlord was a white man in his late 40s of average looks who kept to himself and was a quiet tenant.
