"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you" 「Maya Angelou, 'I Know Why The Caged Birds Sings' 」
When an idea begins to form, and your mind starts to whir with all the possibilities, that is when stories are created. They exist eternally in that magical realm where anything can happen. It is the place where ideas take root and imagination begins to fly. It is the place where the words written on paper are a more powerful ally than any kingdom, or army in existence. And it began with a thought. It shall end with a thought.
That is what this world is. This is the place 'Beyond the Realm of Words.'

WHERE THE HUMANS HOWL
You must be familiar with wolves' howls but I want to show you the world where humans howl. Pain is a fundamental part of the human experience, which means that it's a fundamental part of storytelling. It's the root of some of our best metaphors, our most elegant writing. Characters in fiction suffer, because their suffering mirrors our own. Some of this collection of short stories explore themes of catastrophe, death and despair, while others talk of love and longing, with them all being highly complimented by readers with emotive writing skills. In the short story 'Donkey-Man', we read about a man who lived all his life among animals and writer, as a child, is surprised to know that he was a human. In the story "In Search of God' we meet a character who is confused by different religious sect and defines God in his own simple way. The villagers, who claim the real follower of God, don't allow him to live in the village, but he is welcomed by God. In the story, "The Last Storyteller", the narrator is at odds with a changing world. Through his three windows, he is offered glimpses of beauty and joy, but, alas, reality intrudes. On the way to capturing his tale, the windows show him the grace of the blue bird who sings in his garden, the joy of the young boys playing cricket by the graveyard and lastly, the sadness of a mysterious figure, the Last Storyteller, whose livelihood is as endangered as that of the rare bird's. Although some of these stories do deal with rather gloomy thoughts of life, they are all written in such a way that the stories told are interesting to read and really do make you think. This collection of short stories is definitely an interesting read with some of the questions not always being fully answered. And with many of the stories covering such dark subjects you will truly find it a hard book to put down.Complete
