CHAPTER 1: A LIVING NOVEL
The professor and Frank decided once again to abscond away with themselves to a local hotel for a "Birthdayversary" staycation weekend. It wasn't long after their arrival that they descended into an infinite logic loop. It was one of those ones when the only way out is to therefore not, and it's impossible to get out once you've spiraled down too far. It's like the whole universe is spiraling out and in at the same time. It's like reality is caught in this paradoxical loop. Unfortunately our field of view is so narrow that it will take us an eternity to zoom out far enough to see it from a distance. And that's when it started...

The room? Gorgeous studio-suite overlooking the fountains. It was breathtaking. It was too much too beautiful all the time. Even when the contrary is true. Can it be both true and false at the same time? Why not? I suppose that something must be true in order not not be false, but can it be true and also be false? That is a paradox. An infinite logic loop paradox.
How was it that the events in the story did indeed take place, and at the same, did not occur. Because of the two-headed spiral of a universe moving in opposite directions. All that has happened will happen, and all things that will happen, will also happen. This is what goes on when the professor and Frank stay the weekend at a nearby hotel.
"Do you remember me saying I haven't opened my textbook since finishing chapter two? Chapter three begins: "... This chapter should be regarded as the most important in the book. Students are therefore encouraged to pay careful attention."
"Ha," she replied.
The Professor was a sweet fancy for a knave such as Frank, he himself a didactic prince charming of sorts, learning and teaching and teaching people things they already know and do not need to learn again, but that does not stop Frank; he will give you instructions you don't need without solicitation, and, She, the lovely and elegant philosopher, direct and efficient, she always obtained success by snatching it out of the air and claiming it her own. She and Frank are different in many ways. For example, Frank and She will choose to put themselves in opposite orders when mentioning themselves in sentences. Professor was a stickler for grammar.
There was but one incident in their bumpyless road to passionate and sometimes complacent agreement: The time Frank wanted to go home and the professor wouldn't let him. Since then, there was only one other, and it had to do with sending text messages or something else equally lame; Frank could be lame. So, before we assume any further that this is a science-fiction-romance-fantasy novel, let's get one thing straight: Frank was a slob.
