The hooting owl, the dark nights, the endless monotony of day and night. All of these point towards one thing: the pendulum. Are lives fated? Is life a cycle that keeps repeating itself?
The series takes the reader on a journey into the lives of several fictional characters living life beyond the ordinary. As they swing relentlessly in life's orbit, we see there is more to life than meets the eyes. Perhaps, the goat staring intently at you is not really a goat, and night is just a cover for something evil, something sinister, lurking in the shadows. But you wouldn't know that, would you? You're fast asleep.

The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete
