Storytelling 2

Guest-teachers: Merlin P.Mann, Henning Kure, Palle Schmidt


We are told to make a 20 pager story, which will be our main project to be done next year around February 2014. My comic is called DOPAMINE and it is set in a dark sci-fic setting focus on the pervert corruption of medical science.

outline:
In the near future the medical evolution is at its darkest peek. As the new developing chemical is being processed, the Body of an Old man, his brain stem is then transplanted to a new and younger body.
An individual unexpectedly wakes up during a surgery, finding himself in an underground hospital buried bellow the earth. A small team of rebels kidnaps the patient to stop the corrupted Hospital from completing a vicious circle. He is then stranded in an abanded ward where he has to survive to get away. He struggles and fails to proceed,but by little help from his uncunning mind he manages to eascape each challenge with consequences.

Savagely hunted down by the hospital staff, would he be able to escape from them or from his past? Dopamine is being forced to move on, unable to defend himself he had to rely on the rebel’s arms. But tensions seem to peek among them on their views on the mission.
