"A Song Before Sunset"

Imagine the post-day of destruction world where everything is literally upside down. In this world, a rat is deemed more valuable than an expensive diamond ring and a concert pianist is lower on the food chain than a common neighbourhood thug. In fact, the things that were once held dear in the cultural world such as books, fine art and music have little or no value anymore. This is the world that the main character Parnell finds himself in. His once prized possession, his grand piano, is useless. Moreover, he fears playing it so as not to attract unwanted attention from the neighbourhood villains who seek to destroy any signs of culture. Eventually, Parnell comes face-to-face with “Vandal,” the most destructive survivor in this apocalyptic world. Who will survive?

  1. In the story did they say why did the villains wanted to destroy any signs of culture? If not then in your opinion why do you think they wanted to destroy it? And Is Vandal one of the villains that Parnell fears the most?

  2. Vandal is the villain that everyone fears the most. In today's society, he would be the stereotypical inner city, violent thug. He and his gang members want to destroy "culture" because they feel that people with culture look down on them and treated them as second class citizens.

  4. I did enjoy reading this story. It allowed my imagination to run free due to the fact that it involved the apocalypse.

  6. Interesting story. Do you think that the idea/theme was strong enough to perhaps make a film?

  7. I do not believe that the story could be made into a film. It did not contain enough characters and I felt that the plot was not developed enough.
