I'm Never Coming Back is a collection of surreal, comic and
mournful interweaving tales travelling across three continents. In
each destination we zoom in on unusual lives and remarkable
situations, each tale unknowingly impacting on the next. In Rye
train station a woman impulsively buys the same ticket as the man
in front of her. The accidental journey leads her to Berlin. A
novel way to run away from home. At Heathrow Airport, a building
perpetually busy with people coming and going, a traveller is
visited by a memory that refuses to leave. A tray of Singapore rice
noodles cooked up in Christchurch takes on a life of its own.
Winchelsea. A lone letterbox in Britain's only desert is central to
a friendship between a travelling chef and a deep-sea diver. An old
man realises that time is running out in Truth or Consequences, New
Mexico. Elsewhere an out-of-towner meets a crab at a taco stand who
seems to know more than any crab has a right to know. The 'sound
mirrors of Denge' reflect more than noise for one day-tripper. And
on Johnston Island a man struggles to hold onto his fading memories
as his house slowly fills with pollen. Test Match Special seems to
be the only foothold in reality. The Art of Pho is now available as
a live motion comic: http://artofpho.submarinechannel.com/
