Why does a woman prioritize her man and blows off everyone else? Friendship means nothing to her, let alone pets. She enjoys the warmth of her furry companion until it outgrows its use. The sad irony is that this type of woman hooks up with men who are not so decent. I feel for the pets dumped before and after the Covid lockdown. Some were dumped because they might be infected with the virus. Some were pampered during the lockdown but got abandoned afterwards.
CHARACTERS in my Graphic Novel
SERPENT represents the frailty that sees us stray from the path and often into darkness. Big predators make the headlines, but ordinary people are tempted to commit small-scale cheating when shielded under anonymity. On good days we can fight off the temptation, but on bad days when we have just lost something, our hands reach out for it while a sinking feeling spreads inside our hearts, warning us that this is not the way to get even with life. However, God or the universe may not mind if the gain is minimal. So we tell ourselves.
Perhaps,
horror stories draw us in because we may slip into darkness at any time at our
own will. We may need religion or
fantasy stories, hoping they will bring us back into the light. I am too chicken to wrong individuals, but my
integrity did not always hold firm against faceless organizations. My story combines horror and fantasy, but you
will find it oddly accurate because I will not sugarcoat the truth. To myself,
I will be brutal.
GODDESS
IRIS/NEMESIS: Instead of picking
one from the existing religions, all of which I respect, I opted to represent
the universe's will via Goddess IRIS. God gave us light, and Goddess followed
it up with the sound, but as sound travels slower than light, no one knows her
existence despite benefiting from her gift, music. Something turned this once
open-book IRIS into NEMESIS, Goddess of Retribution.
THE
SPIRIT of LOUIS XIII: The king of France who reigned
from 14 May 1610 – to 14
May 1643. Enigmatic character the world may not have fully appreciated,
not unlike the current, which can be substantial even if the river looks calm.
OMELETTE: the dog who was the pet of Louis XIII in its former life.
