The Odyssey
What if the journey home demanded more than the war itself? In Homer’s immortal epic, Odysseus battles wrathful gods and labyrinthine seas, clinging to the fraying thread of home. But as decades unravel and each cunning triumph deepens his scars, one question haunts every wave: When the sirens’ song fades and the final battle is won, will the man who returns still recognize the hero who left—or has the voyage devoured him whole?

Heart of Darkness
What if the greatest darkness you must face isn’t the wilderness—but the abyss inside yourself? In Heart of Darkness, a steamboat captain’s quest to find a rogue ivory trader spirals into a harrowing voyage upriver, where the jungle’s suffocating grip mirrors the rot of greed and imperialism. As whispers of the enigmatic Kurtz unravel into a nightmare, one chilling truth emerges: the line between civilization and savagery is as thin as a shadow… and what stares back from the void might wear your own face.
