Hade's Gaze

HADES works feverishly into the night, pursuing a celestial object hinted at, yet thus far undiscovered. This comes at the cost of intimate relations with his wife, CARLY, who expresses discontent at his behaviours.

Hades daytime profession sees him analyse suspicious biopsies under the unforgiving gaze of a laboratory microscope, where he passes sterile judgement. However, his passion for his evening pursuit is never far away. Yet despite his obscene rigours endured, his search remains fruitless…

…Until he makes a connection with the powerful insights of his microscope and telescopic viewing lenses. Realising his grandiose ambition of a discovery that will change the world - a glimpse of the past AND future. Unfortunately, he also learns of his wife’s infidelity, though still allows her to be the first to witness the destiny of human kind. Yet as she places her eye to the viewing glass, Hades is horrified to witness her violently combust, and hear the appalling pandemonium of an entire world consumed by the ruin of his gift
