Writer Statement

The motivation of this story came at quite an arbitrarily intense writing session of another story. Whilst going through a breakup, it was a much less intense experience than trying to swat a pesky fly away. Until, eventually it hit me. Why don’t I combine the two and somehow form them into an extreme but relatable heartfelt story?

Tragedy and loss is connected with humanity since our time began. Portrayed by Zara’s character in having gone through a breakup at the process of moving on. Tragedy is also felt with animals, mammals, creatures and beyond alas insects one being the housefly. One of the most common tragedies of theirs is either being crushed or swiped to death. Which is where Cyclor witnesses his lovers’ death and his character is brought to the fore with his vengeance. It brings the question of what would one do if they witnessed their soulmates death?

This is what I wanted to detail as well as expressing my love for classic horror, with hopes of eventually shooting this and for a future feature version.
