Mystic Management is my story, but centered around a fictitious tale of a boy under the apprenticeship of an old man. Certain events and moments are taken directly from my life, while the names, images, and characters are based off of real life people. Even the setting for the nameless town in which the boy lives in is my hometown, Vallejo, Ca.

Prophets rarely came from places of privilege, they were always sent unto the people, because they come from the people. It is not only the realization of self, but the acceptance of ones darkness and the willingness to spread your light to others, that makes a man enlightened.

I hope, through this story, that others may find the light in who they are, even if they have been stricken by the traumas of life, or the horrors of death. There are many obstacles we must overcome to achieve who we are and the paths we choose for ourselves affect not just one of us, but all of us.

May this story be more to you than a story, let it be YOUR story, OUR story. Very seldom do we regard the message above the messenger. I merely wish to implore that even the greatest men, at their greatest, are men.
