...






I created the narrative, which mainly deals with the problems related to the contamination of food sources. I’ve always thought that the government is censoring the media and not letting us know the significant parts of the aftermaths of the technological development and the reckless manipulation of nature.

My narrative is based on my imagination of the future. The setting is 2040s and all the silenced aftermaths of the technological developments have overwhelmed the World. All the people, who have ingested contaminated food sources, have gone through a serious mutation , which results in subsequent death.


I primarily used Black and white, and used colors only when strong effects are needed.

The story starts with the major character’s nightmare, which is the part of his childhood memory. The setting is a small coastal village beside the nuclear plant. The major character went out fishing with his brother and caught a giant lobster that has been exposed to a nuclear waste. The whole family was excited but the major character was horrified by the creature. Not realizing the presence of nuclear remnants in the creature, the family, except the major character, has a banquet made fully of the mutated lobster.


The day after the banquet, the major character found all his family, dead.


Gasping, the major character wakes up from the nightmare. Having been used to the nightmare, he wares his glasses and picks up a newspaper to start the day as usual. Now days, the newspaper serves as the list of newly found contaminated food sources, causing mutation. Among the lists, the major character finds the article, mentioning that the mutated people have invented the flesh light that can distinguish the ‘uncontaminated’ people from the ‘contaminated’ people. The article also mentions that ingesting the uncontaminated people may be able to stop and heal the mutation.



Mutated people are now madly looking for the pure people who have not been contaminated from the polluted food sources. However, none of the people seems to be ‘pure’.



James, one of the mutated people, goes into the dark compartment to find more people, hiding. Along the way, he notices the light coming from the wall. He looks through it, and sees the major character. James beams the flesh at him, and the light indicates that the major character is ‘pure’.


The major character has been able to stay uncontaminated since he has been paranoid about food sources. After the death of his family, he has started growing everything he ingests. As usual, the major character was preparing his brunch after reading the newspaper.


After putting his food into the oven, he hears the doorbell. He goes upstairs to check who’s there, and when he opens the door, James, ready to endeavor the character, waves his hand.
