synopsis
Champ desperately wants to fly but can’t get more than a few feet off the ground. He also wants to leave behind some painful memories that continue to haunt him. Unfortunately he can’t do either as the memories start to appear all over his body, leaving no other option but to confront them and watch helplessly as they cover him from head to toe. They tell the sad story of Champ finding the love of his life only to have her stolen away by a superhero with the power of flight, leaving Champ alone, bleeding and missing an arm.

I enjoyed watching it, you put a lot of effort on it, wow..congratulations...a sad story , sympathetic character... simply-drawn + black&white, a contrast like life

I love your choice of music by the way.

Quite bizarre, but enjoyable to watch. The details are captivating.
