DUSK!

DUSK!

Several millennias spent on this planet have all but constantly taught us one lesson. Memento Mori. Our mortality. The sheer inevitability of our deaths. A lesson that life is in itself an eternal paradox. For how paradoxical it must be knowing we live each day, winding down to our inevitable demise. It all but sparked a poetic thought in the mind of a philosopher who wrote, "How tragic and frail we must be, living simply to die!" Death to most is often a terrifying end to existence but to teenage Adam Jenkins, death is merely a transition. Adam has never in his life feared the concept of death. How could he possibly fear death when he knows it better than anyone? Adam Jenkins has a strange gift that separates him from the rest even in a world of superhumans. Adam has the ability to see the spirits of the dead and commune with them. An ability that has never been recorded before. An ability that noone believes as they feel “ghosts are nothing but a laughable fiction". And when his already strange gift takes an even stranger turn, Adam Jenkins knows his life might never ever have a semblance of normalcy. And boy, couldn't he be more right! He is thrown into an asylum for mentally troubled superhumans and when he feels it's all over, a new chapter begins. In a home for the insane, Adam finds sanity. He finds something he lost the day his brother died : A family. Together with these bunch of misfits, Adam faces a world of hypocritical heroes( or Capes as they are termed) and ruthless villains. A world where there are only three sides: The bad, the worse and the worst. A journey awaits! (If you're wondering where I got the sensational artwork?
