Based on the album (Life As A Dog) by K Flay. (Songs will be attached) An alternate universe set in the 80's where Tyler takes too many pictures on his Polaroid camera. As Tyler's eye is looking through his camera one day about to snap a picture, someone new catches his eye. This story will be a nostalgic trip through time, experiences that will feel real and modern music that will tell the story of each chapter.

He was drowning, drowning in this water, drowning in his honey-brown eyes, drowning in his strong, gentle arms, drowning in this fuzzy feeling in his chest. He was drowning. // the boy who couldn't hold his breath underwater.

Josh has worked at the local ice cream shop for as long as anyone can remember. Tyler wants to know just how long that really is. Cover by @altjdun <3 «© angelo»
