Marionette
Frayah-Louisa Humphries, Thomas Tanner
A marionette maker strives to create the perfect vessel for a pair of glass eyes, which he believes to be identical to those of his first and only love. His passion turns into obsession as he constructs puppet after puppet, discarding those he sees as unworthy for the eyes. Our story takes place on the cusp of the completion of his latest creation, the one he hopes will bring his madness to an end, but will he succeed?
