Introduction
Japan…the exotic far east…
Who is this man I hardly know!
My experience is not any more unique. It is a story to be told, a warning to others, a chapter of reality rarely uncovered.
How did I end up here I find it difficult to fathom….perhaps in working back through the recent course of events may clarify the bewilderment remaining…
What sucked me in?
What pulled me tight?
What trapped my mind, believing that this was right?
An escape, my way out…how delicious it tasted,
How susceptible was my spirit to the conundrum awaiting…
When at the tipping point our reactions become irrational, our perspective warped and twisted, the filter be coated with rose-colored tint.
This world, where interplanetary connections network indiscriminately, preys on the frailty of systems. With modern tools at hand, they stealthily encroach, the system we entrust only loosely securing the surface.
What we will discover is yet to be revealed, by not pursuing this notion, have we failed to really live?
Hi ctc,
I just finished reading your story Lotus Eating Japan and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.
I really loved the scene in Chapter 1 where the protagonist reflects on their escape and the allure of Japan. It was a poignant moment that set the tone for the story. It is ideal for making a comic as it introduces the protagonist's journey and the complex emotions they navigate in a visually compelling way.
I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.
You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Username - Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (Username - Eve_Verse) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!
Regards,
Evee
