In the quiet corners of Brenton's mind, where dreams and reality blur, lies a tale both whimsical and profound. Brenton, a boy whose thoughts wander like lost stars, carries with him an aura of misfortune. His childhood unfolds in verses, a poetic labyrinth where what ifs bloom like wildflowers, obscuring the sunlit path of innocence.
Amidst this cerebral dance, Brenton's older friends revel in life's joys, their laughter echoing through the years. Yet, as if guided by a mischievous muse, his mind meanders further. Enter the library shop owner-an oracle of sorts-whose advice, delivered amidst fragrant incense, only deepens Brenton's mental wanderings. Is it possible for a mind to become lost-er? Perhaps, in the lexicon of Brenton's peculiar existence.
And then there's the girl-the elusive muse of his heart. But his mind, ever the trickster, sabotages every encounter, leaving Brenton nervously stumbling through missed opportunities. Tragedy strikes in the first book, propelling Brenton into a world named Pariso. Here, his enigmatic companion, Bear, reveals truths that unravel the fabric of existence. Who is Brenton? What purpose does he serve?
The second book, a dream matryoshka, shifts focus to Eva-a puppy-turned-guide-navigating Pariso's shifting landscapes. Mind and presence merge, their union incomplete without the missing vessel-the body. Two halves yearning to become whole.
And now, Book 3: a cosmic fable akin to The Tree and the Star, The Creation of Time, and The Wind and the Jinn. Here, the Wind, the Mind, and a whimsical Furry Bunny intertwine. Before time's dawn, they banter, the Wind outwitting the Mind. But the Mind, weary of jests, becomes a Jinn-a weaver of temporal threads.
The Bunny, too, embarks on melancholic adventures, sinking into watery depths. The Tree, witness to all, trembles. Its leaves catch desire, weaving a mournful melody. Enter the Little Star, hungry for experience, orchestrating chaos for her cosmic companions. Pain and pleasure entwined.
God herself appears in the second book, alongside Eva. Unity revealed-the Wind, the Bunny, and the Mind-all facets of creation. And as the trilogy concludes, Brenton stands at the precipice. Eva, both daughter and cop. Goes in to save Brenton, the boy she wanted to save, but could not in her real life. Eva, embodies the cycle of existence. The final page turns, and a lone star gazes upon Brenton, granting him one last wish.
