About Lens 

Lens is a project that I've had in my head for about two years now, and never have I gotten past the first chapter. The first iteration of Lens had basically no plot. The second had some plot, but nothing to really hold the story together. The third iteration was much better than the previous two, but involved a technical skill i'm not altogether familiar with.

Maybe someday I'll write something in the first person, but it won't be this story.

There were foxes, parrots, wolves, apes, and on some nights, if your hearing was superb, you might've even been able to hear the soft growls of the several, but shy lion packs that dwellt within.

 

None of the aforementioned creatures, though, could compare in terms of intrigue, to the Wood-Sprites.

 

I'm not certain what you've heard of Wood-Sprites before opening this book, or if you've even heard of their kind at all. But chances are, that if while spelunking a book, or surfing the internet, you've come across a description of Wood-Sprites, that description was wrong.

 

The Wood-Sprites that lived in the Iagam Forest could grow to be almost four feet tall. Their skin was drk, but fair. And their eyes - except for a few, rare cases, - were dark-green.
