I love mystery, how did you you know? :P

The weird tale is basically a story of a person walking down a busy street and noticing the people around them. You'd read about a couple teasing each other, two friends talking about their problems etc. I wanted to write something about putting yourself in other people's shoes and realizing you aren't the center of the world, and that's what I came up with. Essentially the "protagonist" isn't really the protagonist, as everyone has their own story.

I'm talking about elves, halflings, magic and castles. With a kinda gritty twist. I'm kinda bored of all the fairytale-like fantasy stories that are the norm, and I am writing about something darker.

I think you told me about the Asylum story shortly after I read Boulder City Prison. It was supposed to be a spinoff or something like that, I think.
