WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This was an interesting story. I wish it had more and yet less at the same time. I guess it's hard to explain.
I left this in our room at the B&B that we stayed in over the weekend.

Oscar Wilde was a genius. He digs into the soul of a man who gradually decays from beneath a veneer of Adonis-like beauty, under an accumulating mountian of narcissistic evil, unable to experience true redemption and release. We all have an invisible portrait of our true selves, disfigured with every act of evil - but unlike Dorian, we need not succomb to the fallen image we behold. Perfection has come... and has taken upon Himself the heinous wickedness of mankind - swallowing it in death and resurrection. Why? So we would not have to remain hideous wretches. We can experience true freedom from our past. We can wash our portraits with the blood of the Christ and be clean.
