The blog covering the graphic novel (so far) is “GFW 27″. Artwork, sketches, and some props for storyline can be viewed there as well.

This piano sequence isn’t pivotal in itself, but being the opening scene for the story it’s important as a good first impression.

The surreal sensation of a casual routine setting turning horribly wrong around you in a matter of seconds.
