This short work imagines a lone figure in a desolate world. The figure is angered and frustrated by this predicament of loneliness, but in the end, the figure also wonders if there could possibly be anyone else out there enduring this same fate.
My sincerest thanks and appreciation goes to the members of Sputter Box for this fantastic collaborative opportunity.
