“A man is down on his luck, cast out from his home, cast out from his family, his job. He seems to be at the bottom of everything, the very pit of despair. He is ready to kill himself, he’s got a bridge picked out and everything.
And then along comes Mephistopheles, offering him another chance at life… for the single payment of his eternal soul. <3″
Bridges are meant to keep us safe from the ravaging waters. But when the waters look safer than the concrete cruelty above, we weigh our pain on scales and set sail to somewhere deep.
But what if the world could flip? When the bridge and waters change, and the second chance beckons, and a handshake begs for mercy…
Then the life is reborn, in a form of something odd, but alive in some way different, like a shadow unthreaded.
