"Scream the silent scream. The scream so painful that no one can hear. Not even the almighty God in his golden throne. His hearing aid long since broken. No, not broken, he just turned it off and turned his back. The figure in the shadows, was it born from the scream or was I born from it." What happens when all you have been hoping for falls away at the last hurdle. All that effort ends up leading you back to the start? What then? These two graphic shorts, unique to this series in their style, provide an interesting insight into the mind of someone who is truly not connected with ÔrealityÕ. A look into the otherside of the mirror.
