A Note on the Story: “A True History of Don Quixote de la Mancha: Twice Knighted, Thrice Scholared”
Hello RIL-ers,
I don’t know who comes here how often now, but this place still exists for anyone who writes and wants to share his/her work. My personal study schedules have left me with no time in the past year to be updating here often, or even to write something worth posting; yes, a sad truth.
However, I am posting here what I have recently written and it needs a note of explanation. The story is about Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’ famous character Don Quixote. I have been studying the novel at school and it’s a long read with several chapters and books. By the time the semester ended we had finished half of it. The second half starts with Don Quixote’s third sally out into the lands with his squire, Sanch Panza, for adventures.
Our course required us to submit one creative-aesthetic submission at the end, not necessarily about Don Quixote, but anything on the planet. As we had all been so engrossed in the text?? throughout the semester I thought of writing a story about Don Quixote, a story about a story.
The story is pretty long which is why I will post it in chapters. It takes an alternate route showing that Don Quixote, in the second half of the book gives up knight-errantry and becomes a scholar. For those of you who have not read the novel the story might not make sense. But then again, the mark of a good piece is that it should be able to stand alone 
So judge away…
