Demented Odyssey Omar El-Haouzali

He just wants to to be understood. Many thoughts travel our minds unexpressed, repressed even. Why should every existential journey be experienced in solitude. A painful and long silence settles in Coeus's mind; a frightening gloom takes over his heart as lonesomeness slowly slithered over time into his entire being. It sunk its swampy reptilian scales through the wrangles of his identity. Will he ever untangle from the tight grip of his own fiends? Torn between reason and irrational desire as the faceless snake wraps its wriggly tail and starts muttering whispers of illusory love. Turmoiled by his mysterious self-loathing and alienated by his unusual vision of the world and dissociation from the sentimental values of reality, our demented narrator embarks on a journey through the lenses of the only individual who piqued his interest in the midst of his life's tastelessness. Where will he take this woman? Where will she take him? Suddenly, he finds a little sense in a vast and meaningless existence; a commitement to knowing someone; and for once, letting them know him. Will he find the understanding he so longs for; perhaps even a bond in his delicate complexities when dealing with heartbraking realities? Danger, however, unveils behind the dreamy silouhette of his Cosmos. Deeper pits riddle the paths he follows as he chases behind a walking dream.
