![]() One brilliant Saturday, I went to pick up a package from the post office. As the foreseen date of their impending doom draws near, the town decides to put on a festival on that very same night, to celebrate their lives and face whatever fate awaits them together. 'Con Temor, Con Ternura': For years, the residents of a small, ocean-side town have been living in the shadow of the sleeping giant who is prophesised to one day wake up and lay their world to waste. Alive but trapped, an engineer who survives the wreckage finds herself inside the reservoir of memories, stranded alone in a patchwork dream of someone else's life. 'What Is Left': A ship that runs on the memories of one of its occupants malfunctions and collapses in on itself in the dead of space. ![]() But, unknown to them, each time they gain a morsel of information, they lose something, too. ![]() The lovers get separated, and must barter with stories in exchange for clues as to where the other may be. 'Don't Go Without Me': Two lovers sneak out for a night out on the town- a town where spirits and the supernatural exist as a realm within and alongside our world, with humans crossing over frequently. ![]() 'Don't Go Without Me' contains 3 individual stories: the titular 'Don't Go Without Me,' 'What Is Left,' and 'Con Temor, Con Ternura' (With Fear, With Tenderness). ShortBox is proud to present 'Don't Go Without Me' a triptych collection of comic stories from rising superstar cartoonist Rosemary Valero-O'Connell. ![]()
