INK LAKE - The Grey Flat

'The silence pressed onto every inch of her body, squeezed her head, wrapped itself around her heart, pushed on her chest. She could no longer breathe, nor speak, nor anything else. Like in trance, her eyes wandered down to her hands and she saw a torrent of black fluid streaming from her vessel soundlessly. Across her fingers, down her dress, and down her legs, the black flooded the floor she was standing on.' * 'What strange place was this? Far and wide, nothing. Nothing at all. Only grey mist in this peculiar dimension, which seemed to be completely empty otherwise. For days on end, you would not encounter the slightest thing, no human, no animal, not even land or sea, not even a grain of sand. And absolute silence prevailed here. It was eerie, as if you had got lost in a vacuum.'

This book is for you, if you like fantasy stories. If you like weird, whimsical things. If you like metaphors and dreams and symbols. If you like alternative, magical worlds. It's also for you, if you had (or know someone who had) traumatic experiences, especially during your childhood/adolescence, especially in your family/home. If you are interested in psychological issues like trauma and (complex)PTSD.
