​What is ​Deeply Weird?

A story calls your name and you stumble after a strange, irrepressible longing onto a path where the branches curve to meet in the sky. Snarled roots scuff your shoes, roped question marks nudging up from under the earth.
​
"What if?" is the question that all stories begin with. But here you will also find: "Why?"

Hang up your sense of ordinary on the nearest branch and follow the trail of your imagination.

​Come with me.
