When Fluffy first appeared in front of me, it was a fluke. She popped up out of the blue, saw me sitting in my pod carving pieces for my homemade backgammon board and asked about the game.
You must understand of course, just how surprised I was to receive such a distinguished guest. Since I had been alone in my exile, no one had come around to talk to me, certainly no one as famous as Fluffy. I am afraid I was rather rude in my staring, but I recovered and explained the main idea of the game as well as I could. Fluffy peered at my carvings and my hand-drawn board, thanked me for the directions and was gone in a flash. I thought I would never see her again. She was back the next day with a set of dice. We played seven games on her second visit. All in all, to this day we have played 3,762 games. I have kept the score. Fluffy still drops by, although her visits are less frequent. She is very busy these days, as am I, but in the earlier days, when I had nowhere to go, we sat in my pod playing backgammon and swapping stories that I know are not covered even in the latest versions of G.R.I.T.O. There are a lot of people who would give a great deal to know what I know, but you are the one I want to tell the story to. I waited for you to be old enough to understand what I am about to tell you. I trust you will keep this tale close and share it only with those who are dearest to you.
