PAGE 11, PANEL 3

Lily sits on the floor surrounded by her possessions - a laptop, stereo equipment, vinyl records, books, a game console, food, and a cat. She's in her own isolated world.

NARRATOR: "I just retreat farther and farther into my own world."

NARRATOR: "I force myself to be happy by surrounding myself with the things that I love."

I should have made a few horror comics. That was a great page turn. I timed these pages so in print this one was on the opposite side of the previous page, so you’d get a little jump when you turned the page and saw it. It’s hard to appreciate the timing online.

I really love that melting hand.
