Bart reaches a new low level within the void; his journey begins to make a turn.

When the world never seemed to understand Bart, he always turned to his 'sketches', or so he calls the comics that are OBVIOUSLY sketches, since it's all in black and white anyways...right?

Can Bart withstand the trauma hiding in the far corners of his mind? Will his own head prove his strongest enemy and his greatest weakness?

The Swinton family anxiously awaits the diagnosis of their son. No one is affected harder than Christine Swinton.

The void has put Bart through the hell he never knew existed within his head- but now it's messing with him even more. As his emotions change, so do the surrounding contrasts and brightness of things all around him. Somehow, Bart isn't convinced these are mere shades of black and white any longer, but what then could they be?

Bart has never felt more alone yet in his life with the absence of Christine around. He comforts himself with simple reads and other things that make him feel better about his deafness. He soon discovers the surface of a secret he never thought possible.

Bart speaks the first words he's ever heard in his life, without knowing how to speak! Frantically searching for answers through the void, the voice leads him further through the coffers of his mind, as his questions grow and grow.

Last October, Bart's sister mysteriously and haphazardly left for one week, following a freak fight with Bart and Christines' parents. Bart had no clue what was going on, or how to respond, but clues began to sprout up around him.

Bart is stuck deep within his psyche, with only the guiding voice of a ghostly figure unseen.

The Swintons arrive in the hospital as Bart lays unconscious, without any answers or any direction.
