This is my silhouette story, I have followed the Japanese Manga Style panelling, which is read from right to left. The left side is the 1st page and the 2nd page is on the right.

As you can see I have used the idea of silhouette based on a NDS game I have played before named "Rub Rabbits"

Its extremely cute AHAHAH
I really love the concept and that was why I used it in my silhouette idea.
I will now begin my story. The title of my story is "Peace" which in a way means what kind of peace? a feeling? I remember a friend of mine and I shared and created this story together because we were fond of doing so. So I hope my message passes through on the true meaning of the comic.

A boy takes a route he never took before to school, and never had he noticed in his lifetime a bridge by the corner of the road. There however stood a elderly lady, who seemed panicky and lost. Out of empathy he went over to ask her if she needed any help.

The lady replied with a point over the bridge, and says she is afraid of going the alone, fearing that she will fall. She seemed like she really needed to get past there so he offered himself to help her pass. Carrying her on his back he carefully stepped past the shaky bridge onto the opposite side. Carefully setting down the lady, he smiled. The lady seemed happy and thanked him over and over. He could not get why was she so happy so he dismisses himself and hurriedly went off to school.

A few days have passed and he no longer need to use the pathway, but on sudden remembrance he asked his friend about the bridge. His friend appeared puzzled and asked in return.. what bridge? He got confused and decided to go there and see by himself and prove to his friend about this. He went back there and to his surprise he sees a  run down and broken bridge. Tall grasses covered the place, as if it was never touched for a long long time. He walked closer and noticed a small stone hidden behind the tall grasses. He kneels to see what it was. His eyes widened as he sees a picture of an elderly woman whom he have met a few days ago, and she was smiling sweetly in the picture, exactly like how she did to him. He then knew, he helped her cross the path, to peace.

"it was a few decades ago when an elderly woman was passing through the very bridge, when the ropes snapped and came down falling."


So in my context, the peace meant.. rest in peace.
