Mike is a sensitive soul that has seen too much. His story begins with him in the midst of UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, when this poetry-loving individual sees the horrors of war first-hand. While he survives and gets discharged after injury, several friends don't make it. Shell-shocked, he tries to find his place in the world, becoming a drifter, participating in [[FightClubbing underground fighting rings]], and acting generally numb to the world until he settles down in a nice, quiet town to take care of their library. There, he falls in love, contends with a love rival, and discovers that running away from his problems only results in them exploding in his face.
