Blurred realities

"The town had become a reality of blurred visions, a monochrome void; the few people that were outside hurried along, hunched and hooded forms escaping from the cold. Shops and buildings blended in with the pavements until it was difficult to ascertain where one started and the other ended, the white of the snow contrasted with the dark of oncoming night. The only colour he could perceive was Anouska’s blue denim jacket, a beacon of hope to his weary eyes."

Another good session on The Black Tree. Matt and Anouska are now entwined in their own destiny, and have narrowly missed an encounter with the faeries, which are not faeries from childhood fantasy tales, but something a lot more sinister...

...in fact, a string of incidents have forced Matt to leave his town, taking a journey with Anouska into the unknown, into a world where the real becomes imaginary, and the imaginary real. Everything becomes blurred, and Anouska explains to him the reason for her finding him, and the reason behind his dreams, and her own.

Building up pace now, the next few chapters are gearing up to be quite exciting!
