Through the Little Lens

Children are said to be pure. They see colors where adults see only gray, hear laughter where others hear screams, and find games where others find tragedy. But what happens when the world they live in is broken?
Told entirely through the lens of a child's unshaken innocence, this haunting story reveals a society's ugliest truths; without ever naming them outright. Every page is a mirror, daring us to question:
Are we too blind to see the world for what it has become, or have we simply chosen to play dead?

They haunt.
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

The light they see in me; the darkness i hide within
In every family, there is a rhythm - laughter at the dinner table, warmth in small gestures, the comfort of being surrounded by love. For the youngest child, this rhythm is both a blessing and a quiet burden. To the world, they are the bright spark: the one who smiles first, who laughs easily, who carries light into every corner of their home and school. Their friends call them cheerful, dependable, a presence that makes every moment feel lighter. Their family treasures their warmth, believing that they are always at peace. But behind the smile lies a truth no one sees. Each day is a careful performance, a balance between the joy they give others and the heaviness that lingers within. In the quiet hours of the night, when the world is still, their heart whispers questions they can never voice. Questions about worth, about exhaustion, about the battle they face in silence. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘦𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘐 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘥 is a tender, haunting exploration of what it means to protect the ones you love by hiding your pain. It is the story of a child who carries two lives - one that shines brightly for others, and another that silently fights to endure. Through ordinary days at school, gentle family dinners, and lonely nights under the ceiling's watch, the youngest child learns what it means to exist in two worlds at once: the one everyone sees, and the one only they can feel. This is not a story of villains or cruelty. It is a story of love, of warmth, of family - and the unspoken truth that even within the most loving homes, battles can remain unseen. It is about the quiet courage of a child who chooses to smile, even as their heart longs for rest. A poxignant journey of hidden emotions, fragile strength, and the longing for someone to notice what lies beneath the surface - this story reminds us that sometimes, the brightest light hides the deepest shadow. /~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/ T
