Simple Pages

You hear the clash of steel upon steel in your head as two knights struggle for the fate of their lives. A Dragon roars in the distance and the men, like many frightened ants sensing a giant's presence, scatter as the dragon releases a massive fireball onto the blood soaked field. The scene becomes another with a flick of your eye, as you now watch two young lovers lost in the tall grass stalks, separated and isolated from the world in that wonderful enticing moment of a first kiss. Words like fine silk upon skin wraps around your senses, plunging you into a world beyond yours. You feel the character, who would seem to be standing right next to you, his words a cascade of ideals and emotions that jerk and pull you at whim. A symphony of colors, sounds, sights, feelings, and emotions play within your head as you read on. Page by page, line by line, word by word, you are drawn into this other world until all you feel of real world is the dread of it ending.
