“I, I can’t get these memories out of my mind

And some kind of madness has started to evolve

I, I tried so hard to let you go

But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole”

-Muse


She has the only color in this gray world, but she hides it in a tissue in her pocket. Is it worth it to embrace the madness and release the kaleidoscopic dawn? Or float through life in a bliss of brain fog?

In a town where death is served daily on a slice of homemade bread, and tales of two-headed fish and trailer-hitch balls are more profound than the meaning of life; Marianne struggles to find the perfect level of insanity. She thinks she’s got it all figured out…and then her past decides to show up after being gone for ten years.

To feel, or not to feel… that is the question.
