Set in medieval Germany, a young woman is attacked and forced to seek refuge in a small village in the deep, Dark Forest. But the more she sees of the village, and the more she speaks with its inhabitants, the more she realizes that something is terribly wrong; strange technology, cryptic warnings, and what is that strange humming noise? If she doesn't escape soon, she may never make it out the same person, or alive at all.

Some thoughts.

It occurred to me I should write about a fictitious relationship between my son and I.

Story is about father and son engaging in a conversation and the wind as a witness for madness.

What do I write about?

My stories are mostly based on deep descriptions of places I have visited in my dreams and moments between characters inspired by people I met along the journey.

I like to keep my writing simple so that the reader doesn't have to put too much effort into deciphering what I am trying to say. Of course, I leave plenty of room for the person to imagine where the poem leads them.

I like a bit of suspense here and there.

I will not describe what my reading is like, I want you to tell me how it felt, which emotions took over your body.

I want to know what the poem left in your hands when you finished it.

A town filled with craziness and madness and possibly never-ending drama. Join three groups as they go through the journey of madness in the mad town

Life is full of mysteries.Life gives of the unexpected.Life is a gamble.Life is a sick game.

Everyone has to participate.No one can escape for it is fate.And in every game there will always be the good guys and then the bad guys.The one that saves and the one that kills.the selfless and the selfish.The one that everybody likes and the one that everybody hates.the heroin and then the villain.however no one knows for sure who we really are deep inside No one can really tell if you're kind or just pure evil.And so a solution was made:- Break that little mask of theirs and squeeze that bloody hearts, let their true self be awake and let monsters roam around.

Now sound the alarm for the games are about to begin.
