Drowning in the Rain is an autobiographical vignette with mild puzzle elements. It covers a very important and difficult period of my life.
Description
I took a slightly lateral approach to the theme this time. If we take 'Your life is currency' as a statement directed at the reader it reads 'My life is currency' or put another way 'My life has value', 'My life is meaningful'. With this in mind I created a small abstract narrative experience about a five year period of my life that began with the death of my father.
Instructions
