The Day I Tried to Live
Synopsis
So begins a journey of discovery. The sea is hostile, the place a paradise and the people strange. Far from ordinary he has experienced many things in his time here understanding happiness, woes, alienation.
Unfortunately he did not come alone. Ghosts of past, fears, 'Shadowmen' haunt his every step. A tangible hope and search to find another of his kind turns to desperation as the fading sun quickly descends.
As the sunsets the man had lived a lifetime in a day.
