The imagination is a strange and mysterious thing. It can take you to places of beauty in dreams from a wish from which you never want to wake...to nightmares of such darkness and heart wrenching pain, that you wake up with a racing heart, sometimes even in tears grateful to leave that horrific realm behind. It is between both of these worlds that I dwell...somewhere in shadowed light...somewhere just outside the light...somewhere in dusk's embrace. Within the pages of this book, I hope to introduce you to this world...my world.
