GORILLA MY DREAMS: THE SHEEP FROM THE GHOST

THE SHEEP FROM THE GHOST sees KNOCKAROUND-GUY wake up missing chunks of his memory in the convent of the Sisterhood of Perpetual Ewes, surrounded by sheep-people nuns with tales of a mysterious ghost. How did he get there? Who is the enigmatic ghost? And what does it mean to KNOCKAROUND-GUY's search for secrets from his past?

At it's heart, GORILLA MY DREAMS: THE SHEEP FROM THE GHOST is a story about trying to peacefully retire before being forced to choose between your own needs and the greater good.

On a personal level, I've had to make some really tough decisions in my life over the last few years due to my ongoing chronic pain and mental health issues. I've had to say goodbye to people I love, as well as reassess taking part in activities and chasing dreams that have defined me for decades. And with such decisions to change your lifestyle, a very real grieving process happens.

Although not a direct telling of my story, THE SHEEP FROM THE GHOST taps into the themes of trying to find peace and having it forcefully pulled from your grasp.
