Michael Campbell, the main protagonist in CAPISTRANO creates a citadel of pleasure in the heart of Metro Manila. And like Narcissus, the character in Greek mythology he falls in love with his own reflection seen in the pool of water that is of his own creation.
And as in the poem, The Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Michael would say,
"Sure I had drunken in my dreams,
And still my body drank."
But Michael knew that his success would be an attraction to others. And not all would have positive intentions.
"Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread."
