The author lives in two houses. The smaller one is on a hill in NY which faces Michigan. In this one his beautiful wife lives, who rescued him a long time ago. The other one is in his head, which has shutters on some days, and beautiful sunsets on others. In the MPs the author's nickname was Nails. That no longer seems to fit. His favorite author is John Dalton, English Noir Master. That doesn't seem to fit either, but it's his book. This story was written in both houses.
