Phantasmagoria
Cold hands. Strange packages. Mayonnaise
Owen has reached the end of his life. He cannot
pass into the afterworld until he has come to terms with a tragedy
from his past - a tragedy that took his wife and newborn baby from
labour complications. His life is flashing before his eyes like
a dream. But it is not the life that he lived; it is the life he
would have wanted to live. Each flash is another moment in time
that he wished he could have spent with
his wife Meg had their life continued together. Each room in his
old house that he floats through like a phantasm is another memory
that he'll never have known. It is only after he finds forgiveness
in his soul and is able to come to terms with what happened in the
past, that Owen finds redemption.
