What would you do if you were given a last chance to
turn all your visions into reality? One catch. You will
have to leave everything and everyone from your past
behind. This is the story of a man who made that
choice and the tale of his long journey home.

My name is Jethro W. Gainer but you can call me Gainer. I found the first
letter in my mailbox about a year ago. There was a check inside made out
to me for $25,000 drawn on an attorney’s account that I had never heard
of. The letter said I was to contact the attorney if I needed more. Inside
were the journals of an old acquaintance I once called dearest friend. The
journal told the story of Jayson Lane who had all but disappeared at the
height of his career. It told the story of his life and times going back to his
public school days, his vague attempts at a career in Manhattan and all of
the other places that his compulsions and love of art led him. It told of his
long year of incarceration and those visions that seemed to have become so
ubiquitous during that hard time. It was as if I was reading about a
stranger, someone I had never known.

All those years that I had encouraged him to write his story and now here it
was. But he was nowhere to be found. Jason had become a very private
soul despite his fame. He once told me that all that people saw was a
carefully constructed persona, a myth without flesh, built with words,
notes, ad images, where there was no grave site to be found or entirely
understood. So wherever he might be and whatever he might be doing I
hope—dear friend—I do you’re the story of your long journey home
justice. I still don’t know if he wanted his whole story to be told. And so I
have changed some of the names and places in order to pay respect for his
love of privacy. He once said to me, “If you want to know me, look to my
art. That is where the real story is.”

This is what he wrote with the occasion with few and far
between edits made by me. I kept them too minimum
since this was his voice to be shared and not mine.
Wherever he is I’m sure the ocean is not far away and
still speaking while he holds guitar in hand.
