Episode 0: Epigraph

Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.

— William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus

Drifter coming in
Never touching down, never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam
Still we don’t belong — Drift on
.

— Siouxsie and the Banshees, Drifter

    Ooh, that’s a very graphic play to be quoting from. I dread to think of what your storyline is going to be! 🙂

      While I have some graphic scenes planned, I don’t intend to have this slip into the category of splatterpunk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splatterpunk).

      It will be far more constrained than that.

      But, yes… There is probably good reason people are less familiar with that play. It doesn’t hold many punches.

        No kidding. Just reading it made me feel ill. 🤢
