Big Bad Bear

Snyopsis

They sleep, eat and lounge around says Mr B. (Bear) to his flatmate Bobby the opossum, while around their cottage by the beach is full of life from the forest to the sky. “Am I in a dream or nightmare?” Bear asks, as he wants to wake up to find the essence to all their lives.

Author’s note:
Importantly this later work was based originally on being a visual experience with little or no dialogue and the use of colour or lack of, being black & white as an emotional one. ‘Big Bad Bear’ evolved not as one story but a number of interactive stories reflective of the Author’s life during the time from 2015 to 2019.
