In a realm where power is measured in cloth and color—blue, green, pale yellow—the uniforms we wear decide our fate. Here, ten years can mark a reign, a ritual, or a ruin. And here, the self you are must sometimes be buried to become the self you must survive as.
Everyday DualVox English AND German is not a story of a single world, but of the fracture between them. Told in two tongues—English and German—this haunting narrative lives in the gap between the word and its echo, the rule and its grotesque enforcement. It is a tale of gilded cages and silent selections, of memory that clings like a ghost, and of the terrifying courage required to forget in order to live another hour, another day.
Within these pages, you will enter an arena where:
The Stone Door is sealed, and no tiger guards the ancient tradition—only the Holy Spirit, translated through ages
The Grave of the Illuminati has lost its face, and three things are missing
The Death Practice awaits, where the most powerful disciple may become the most dangerous enemy
The Museum holds secrets that even the Master of Revelation cannot penetrate
Moving restlessly between languages and states of being—between the stark clarity of instruction and the chaotic nightmare of its execution—this mirrored labyrinth will chill you with recognition. For the cages we build are often ornate. The selections we face are often silent. And the monsters are rarely the ones we are taught to fear.
Thank you for stepping into this arena. May you find your way back out.
Mark Howell is a writer fascinated by the spaces between languages, the fractures between worlds, and the invisible scripts of power that shape our lives. Drawing from the stark traditions of folktale and gothic bureaucracy, Howell constructs narratives that are as much linguistic experiments as they are stories—texts that breathe in two tongues and live in the gap between the word and its echo.
Everyday DualVox English AND German represents Howell's exploration of duality not merely as a literary device, but as a genuine breath within storytelling. His work invites readers to be disoriented, to question, and to persist—rewarding those who do with the profound relief of having passed a silent, unseen test.
Howell is also the designer and artist behind this work, crafting every element of the reading experience. He lives mentally worlds away, trapped in palaces of his own making, and returns only to share what he has found there.
