Finally starting to get back into ps and some 2 d work! I did this a few weeks ago.

The Hallelujah Chorus

I've had, for some time, an idea. One of the nasty sorts of ideas that takes up residence in ones brain and surfaces, from time to time, just to make you feel bad for not acting on it. It began its germination in a form wholly different from the one that it has begun to take here and will probably evolve beyond recognition before it has exhausted either me or itself.
Suffice it to say that this is the beginning of a longer piece, possibly novel length. It will be a narrative in three parts, each part following a different character; Devin, Gideon, and the as yet unnamed woman that I am thinking of as Holly, a name that I probably can't use for copyright reasons and that wouldn't fit anyway.
The setting is the Twin Cities metro area plus a city in Colorado, probably Boulder, and there will be more overtones of magical realism. Cities and places with strong emotional resonance will have anthropomorphic identities and the death of Minneapolis is what will drive the plot, though in what direction I have not yet decided.
Please, please, please, comment. Give me encouragement or critique and I will be eternally grateful.
