Gary The Fifth of Questionable Destiny

Gary the Fifth of Questionable Destiny has never fully clarified what the first four did.

There are no portraits.

No documented achievements.

No confirmed failures.

Just a tone.

Gary once implied the Third “made a choice.”

He did not elaborate.

The Second, apparently,

“overextended.”

The First is spoken of with a long pause.

As for the Fourth —

Gary will only say,

“We learned from that.”

There is no family estate.

There is no crest.

There is, however, a notebook.

Gary once bought it specifically for “strategy.” There is one page filled out.

It is labeled: Phase One.

Phase One contains three bullet points.

• Positioning.
• Leverage.
• Timing.

None are explained.

At the bottom of the page,

there is a signature..

Just:

Gary V

The V is deliberate.

Slightly sharper than the rest.

Phase Two has not been written.

But the notebook remains close.

Just in case.
