A demo version for Afterthoughts

Mark, a 24-year-old office worker, is finally ready to give up on life, haunted by the memory of his friend who tragically passed away when they were both just 16. Unable to shake off the weight of this loss, he decides to abandon everything. After resigning, he channels every last penny earned over the past 6 years into purchasing a run-down shack in the desolation of nowhere, seeking solace away from the grasp of everyone and everything.

However, as the days pass in solitude, Mark's peace is disrupted by strange occurrences - objects misplaced or mysteriously missing. Doubt creeps in, and he begins to question whether he's truly alone or not.

Growing Pains

79 parts Complete

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
