Burn it Down: Act I
or The Story of Pride, Love, and Fear

Welcome to The Wake’s first graphic novel. Being our first attempt at something like this technical difficulties may occur. Enjoy:
The story has two titles because there are two separate but related stories occurring at the same time. The main story takes place within the dreams of the main character as he falls in love with a girl named Stella. Slowly, fear begins to creep into his mind (the scribble monsters) and his dreams slowly turn into nightmares overrun by monsters. This gives way to the second story happening simultaneously as Pride (the circle) and Love (the square) fight to keep the forces of Fear out of his mind and help the main character realize that he truly does love Stella and that he should man up just tell her.
