The Grey Veil
a World of Darkness
2019
The World of Darkness is a world that fits over the top of, underneath, in between its pages of out own world. This is the world we shall explore here. No fantastical rewriting of history or reworking of a world from the ground up. No shifting the world we know into an apocalyptic struggle for life. No post-electronic era. This is a world in which you already live in. Perhaps a few years back, or a decade ago, but still the same world you now occupy.
It is surprising how easy it is to hide the supernatural from the public, you would think that as cell phones and computers and video progressed that we would catch more and more supernatural beings, but the sad truth is, we don't. People don't want to believe in magic, fairiers, vampires, and monsters. They would rather believe that all the bad things that happen in our world are perpetuated by humans, science, or happenstance. Catch something on video? Who is going to believe that you didn't create it through computerization or special effects. Video is so real that HD looks too real and uncomfortable to many people in its detail. Why then would we believe that documentation of the unexplainable was any proof at all of the supernatural?
In this world, there are monsters. Come with me, and find the realm hidden beneath our own, find the space under, around, and in between the day-to-day reality that you know. There is darkness here, and there is light, and in the middle, the Grey Veil clouds it all in reason and compromise and refusal to see. Who are your demons? What lurks in your closets? We will explore only that that you are comfortable with, we will discuss only the darkness that is reasonable to all. Do not break the comfort, for in it you may lose your humanity, you may become the darkness that underlies the world.
When you are ready, let's begin.
