A Scientist’s Research Journal, 2020




The story begins when a creature leaves a mysterious object with a scientist.
The object gradually becomes an obsession for him.
At the same time, several characters surrounding the scientist disrupt the course of events.
The narrative unfolds through the perspective of each character, each of whom becomes the narrator in turn.

The temporality is not explicitly stated, but the reader can infer it by following the story as if conducting an investigation.
The structure is somewhat complex, like a kind of enigma, because I wanted the reader to discover the narrative progressively and to make this mode of reading their own.

The layout itself serves as a guide for reading.
I used different kinds of paper for the sections in which the scientist narrates his story.
He deliberately has no name, and color becomes a way of distinguishing him from the other characters.
The secondary characters, on the other hand, do have names, and each of their sections is given a title.
