The Yellow Dress

The Yellow Dress takes place in a surrealistic, dull, grey world. This story follows the journey of a Lone Writer, on an existential search for meaning to his life. He feels there is nothing in this world for him other than cigarettes and whiskey, until a girl in a yellow dress radically changes his life, bringing joy and meaning to his life, before leaving him in misery and despair with questions that will ultimately define his final view on life.
