Paradigm #1

Synopsis

Concept: Television, downtown bars, relationships, beer and talking cats; Paradigm is an experiment in encompassing all the strange, quirky, and wild happenings currently taking place in the world around us. A way to catalogue not only the history of mankind through pop-culture, but through the hidden and fantastic worlds that surround us. And when unexpected behavior and events begin to occur with alarming regularity, it becomes apparent that a new way of thought has overtaken the city of Bogsdale... and perhaps, the world. This Issue Chris Howells had it all: a beautiful girlfriend of two years, a TV and digital satellite, a job with weekends off; a perfectly ordinary life. But when Wednesday's "date night" arrived, it brought with it more than the usual dinner and a movie. A strange and unexpected event occurred that evening in the city of Bogsdale, in a dark and secluded parking lot behind the old movie house, an event that would leave Chris Howells and the reality in which he believed forever changed.
