How It Begins
You are Jack, an 8 year-old farmboy, dreaming that you're now 12 and carrying an axe and a golden harp. You're outside your cottage with your mother. A giant green stump is in the center of the garden. A sweet voice promises you a glorious future if you can only figure out how you got to this situation.
