The Veil of Veracity is a set of two stories by separate authors in different genres. Nirvana A fast-paced fantasy inspired by elements from Hindu mythology, this tale chronicles one monk's quest for purity, a thirst to conquer his fears, and to attain Nirvana. Flip through and follow him as his thirst to vanquish his inner demons takes him past the dreaded doors and into the inner sanctum of the temple of purity. What perils lie in wait for him when the temple stands in judgment of him pitting the piety of his soul against the crippling burden of the monsters that hide within him and pollute his spirit? Will he succeed in his pursuit to attain Nirvana? Or will his demons triumph? Perspective A dark and intriguing short story, Perspective takes place in an eerily silent part of town, where it follows an unnamed protagonist in the pursuit of answers. On a chilly winter night, our protagonist arrives at the humble abode of the Edwards Family; a seemingly cheerful old couple that each have their contradictory version of the truth. Will our protagonist determine which version is actually true? Will our protagonist finally discover the answers sought?
