Dear diary,
I am tired. I have done nothing for 4 months, but try and crack the code. I'm less than 1 step away but i just cannot bring myself to make the last leap. I have stayed up at night, time and time again, thinking I will be able to randomly think of something, but nothing ever comes to mind. Mother says it's better to just leave it be, but I can see Father's disappointed glare and I know i mustn't give up. I'm so close to figuring it out, that it would just genuinely be a shame to leave it now. Father asks when I am to marry, but I don't have time for such foolish games. I am too busy with my study to even think about the helpless women. It's just not the time for that right now. Father thinks that the longer I wait, the harder it will be, but I disagree. Right now, I'm some smart kid. But once I finish my study, I may be the winner of a prize. Then it will be easy to choose a damsel.
Sincerely,
Edgar M. Calloway
I like the edge implied here...that this super smart guy would be so dumb to assume women are merely helpless damsels waiting around for him to save them...
