Excerpt: [Working Title] Shades of Grey

But as you know, life is an adventure.

Many people will tell you that, but if you’re just an average person flowing with the stream you might have a hard time believing it. For you, life is not an adventure. It’s repetetive, it’s not fair and it’s hard. And even if you manage to beat all the odds in your life, there’s nothing more than death waiting for you at the end of it.

This life is one of the hardest.

Some people will tell you that, and if you’re just an average person flowing with the stream you might just nod your head and agree to that. Poor thing, for that means you have either not put enough effort into breaking the rules or you just were not lucky – or unlucky – enough to be thrown into an adventure.

You could give this one a try. It starts somewhere unimportant on this foreign world, leaving you to forget young men and heroes you and the events from ten years ago. Instead you will be taken to a normal city in the far south of this country. You will enter a normal house and you will see a normal young woman sitting at a perfectly normal table.

You get the picture.
