It was past midnight when I finally found the 'Devils Door', and that was the easy part. Now I just had to open it. It seemed like an impossible task, but it had taken me a lifetime to get this far and I couldn't give up now. Behind that door lay secrets stretching back to the dawn of time, secrets that in the wrong hands could tear the world apart. As the last of the 'Others' it was my destiny to recover those secrets and place them where they could never be found. Why me, you may ask? To understand that you must accompany me on a journey; a journey from my ninth birthday until today. When I was nine, my grandparents gave me a Wizard's outfit complete with a Wishing Stick, and a Daydream Book. In my childish imagination they all worked, after all they were magic, and I believed in magic. But as I grew up I began to realize that there was no such thing as magic, and when I stopped believing, the magic stopped working. So I put childish things to one side and became a grown up. Did I believe all the things that you are going to read about? Most of them, but then again when my story starts I still believed my grandfather was a wizard. I am much wiser now, but there were many things that happened to me, that I still can't explain.

Description After 35 years of almost normal life, everything Paul Holmes had known was turned upside down with an accident he was involved in while driving a train. What followed was to drag Paul down to the depths of severe depression, an eating disorder, post traumatic stress and anxiety, he was now damaged goods. Over time Paul had to work hard in trying to make things right for his wife and himself. Battling with an uncaring large company, unhelpful medical system and friends that one by one fell by the wayside. This was almost impossible as lack of understanding from family and friends made them feel totally alone. A Man Derailed is his story.About the AuthorPaul Holmes was born in London in 1968 and had a wonderful childhood growing up with a good family and a pack of Greyhounds. School went by without too much problem and soon adulthood meant moving from job to job trying to find that elusive career. In 1998 he found the career he wanted and became a train driver, marrying Mandy 4 years later. Then in 2003 he was involved in a train accident. The rest, as they say, is history.Book ExtractCan you walk like a train driver? Come on, you know what I mean. As he gets out of his driving cab he deliberately holds his rucksack over one shoulder making it look like it weighs 200 lbs and looks at the floor. As fast as his body allows he marches up the platform to the other end of the train, avoiding all eye contact with any other person on the platform. He usually looks like an old man carrying a bag of coal into a head-on wind. There is actually a perfectly good reason for this: it's to avoid a stupid conversation with passengers. As shown below: Passenger: Excuse me! Is this the train to Cambridge?" Driver: Do you mean this train here? The one with Cambridge written on it. The train on the platform marked "Train for Cambridge", the one with the automated message blaring out "THIS TRAIN IS FOR ALL STOPS TO CAMBRIDGE"?

Achille-Claude Debussy was born into unsettled times: he lived through the political instability of the Commune era, the cultural explosion of the Exposition Universelle, the creative ferment of fin-de-siecle Paris, the frantic turbulence of pre-war Europe and, ultimately, its headlong descent into one of the bloodiest wars in history.
