Decided to expand on the idea from my first post.

Meet Richard John Ryder, an 18-year-old student who goes blind in his last year of high school.

Would be fun to explore themes of self-acceptance, identity, and mental health.

Original Character spawned. Lol.

Part Two out now!

Home

I live

in my head 

on a scorched homestead

it crashes

white-hot-red

into ashes.

glass shatters

like sick misery

and 

walls crumble dismally.

The roof caves

like a cemetery

of fresh graves.

I live

in my head

with gashes

on a homestead 

of ashes.

Part 2 of experimenting with my art style for this occasional comic that I’m dubbing **Phosphenes: Blind Boy Diaries**.

Part one...

Just a collage of vibes for an 'Alice in Wonderland' and Cyber-core story idea I'm playing with.

I've been 16 for five years. That's normal, right?

Uhm, hi.

I'm not actually allowed to have one of these devices. Outsider magic-- or 'technology'??--is against boarding school policy. It's worth ten lashes on the knuckles. Maybe more. My teachers often tell me: любопытство сгубило тебя (Curiosity ruined you.)

But I can't help it. I've been finding these on a lot of corpses in the woods around school lately. Especially the last 5 winters.

I've spent three moon cycles and every lunch break trying to decipher this thing.

It's strange, knowing there are other kids out there. Or, well--- I think you're human, too.

Who knows? You could be humanoid animals. Just like my teachers.

I Fell

For you affection

Gave In

To your expectation

Made less

Of my perception

Even as

your fingers

tighten

around my throat

I float

Between reality and fantasy.

"What am I worth without my sight?"

Hey, hey. I'm just a girl asking questions. See you around.
