Overview
INMOST is a fairy tale about pain, sadness, and loss. It contains rich symbolism derived from the fantasy world of a young girl — an evil Knight fights to spread pain and a heroic man collects pain, as the girl explores dark scary areas of her own home, discovering secrets. A narrator, speaking in the girl's voice, tells the story.

Do you remember?...
Do you remember it? That tale about flowers? I thought it was a good story. I thought: "It's sure to have a happy ending." I was wrong. It's a tale about pain. Let me tell you... Again... These lands were dead. Destroyed and devastated. All you could hear was the whisper of the ashes. Then a stranger came. He held a Spark in his hand. The stranger opened his hand and the Spark was set free. Light returned. Yet pain was the price for this light. Screaming filled the air. Time passed, the screaming grew silent. Pain became a familiar friend. Some disappeared from the lands; no one knew whether they had crept away or been taken by pain. Yet many also remained. Castles which once rose into the skies, fell into ruins. Time wiped clean any trace. Centuries passed; the people started calling the stranger 'the Keeper of the Spark'. He kept watch over the land, soaking up the pain of its people. But the people had hope... They were growing flowers. |
