An ex-soldier meets a girl who briefly brings light into his dark and dreary world before she is tragically taken from him in a violent conflict. Shocked, in his grief the man pleads for her life and unknowingly makes a deal with a powerful Entity. His perspective immediately becomes split, as the story begins to shift between the perspectives of two different versions of the main character; one version of him living out the outcome of a different series of events where his girl had lived, the other paying the price for her salvation and is taken into the service of the Being that brought it, and summoned into its strange Green Halls. ***ALL FEEDBACK WELCOME*** (This is a work in progress and is currently being edited by my agent.
