A Love Letter to Lies by Dani Carr

by a house near a stream

There is a place, far, far beyond the fields. Past the ravines and across the river. Over the treetops and the mountains. It is a place that can only be found when one isn’t looking for it. It is called many names. The Otherworld. The Realm Beyond. Below. 

But it is most frequently referred to as simply The Unknown. Few who visit ever return, and those that return have stories no one believes. Strange, unusual stories that speak of the darkness of forests and the songs of taverns.

Of blue feathers, and painted stones, and weeping trees. Of lanterns in the night. 

Few who visit ever return, but those that do tell the loveliest lies of all.
