During an almost supernatural storm Elijah runs under the porch of an abandoned house to get out of the rain. In doing so he enters a different world. In time he is told that he must pass through eleven doors and into the eleven worlds beyond those doors before he can return to his own world. Along the way he meets people and creatures that tell him that his life is not what he thought it was, that he is in fact a character in a story written by someone called the Spinner. Far from being a pawn in a game, however, Elijah is told that he must take control of the story, that he must rip the story from the author's hand. As if this isn't mystery enough, these people and creatures also mention another, one who is possibly greater than the poet/ novelist who is creating his life, a female entity named Endleofan Ellifu. One of Her appellations is the Two-Headed. An allegorical narrative that employs Jungian symbolism, mystical doctrines, and the imagery of dreams, this story is written so that the readers might project their own meaning onto it, thus finding within themselves the audacity to rip their own story from the author's hand and thus find their own anomaly, that thing in their lives that hints that reality may be other than what appearances have told them all their lives. Covering the first four of the eleven worlds, Part One leads the reader into an ever-deepening mystery, one that may or may not be revealed in Part Two, the conclusion of Elijah's anomalous journey.
