The old man bid me farewell, and I started walking away from his castle into an unknown forest overflowing with creatures I couldn't possibly understand. A slight breeze pushed through the forest causing the few remaining leaves that hung to the trees to plummet to the ground. My feet became…

The Irish author, Clive Staple Lewis, proclaimed that , "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
