The Creator: Shadows of the Soul

Eps 10: Destinations

Is it Galatea or ‘Memory-Ex’ Once she is physically present in his world, Galatea disappears. She makes no further contact with Danny. After a time, Danny has gotten on with his life, getting out more, being more sociable and actively dating . Although he never sees Galatea again, one date, a second one, and then a third—all different women— each manifest gestures and a gaze which stunningly mirror Galatea. The drama ends with Danny and the listeners asking themselves: Is it Danny’s imagination or is Galatea still an integral part of his life—without revealing herself— through the myriad of experiences that life has to offer?

Eps 9: Bridging The Gaps

Danny’s plan to bring Galatea across to his world threatens both of them and all of existence. He learns that it imperils all of existence per a cosmic guardian he encounters in a dreamscape. The cosmic guardian’s concerns echo the fears expressed by David, the techie, too. Despite the warnings, and despite any romantic commitment, Danny proceeds with his plan to bring Galatea across.

Eps 8: Transitions & Closure

Learning of Danny’s machinations, Galatea draws away preferring to live an existence apart from the directives of an author-creator programming her “code” and existence. Danny finally comes to terms with the end of his relationship with his ex, Theresa, and makes peace with her, forgiving her and acknowledging his own role in the failure of the relationship with her. His former partner suggests that forgiveness may set the tone for his personal evolution and a better life. Danny and Galatea discuss her coming across, no strings attached.

Eps 7: Convergence and Conflict

Danny is haunted by a “second” character from his book, the character who is the love interest of Galatea in his radio drama. He accuses Danny of “stealing” his girl, and of destabilizing the foundations of existence by “playing” with the code—the code underlies the simulation and yet impacts reality itself. And Danny must acknowledge that by writing Galatea’s fictional character, he is casting a love spell that overrides her free will. Danny’s rival demands that he tell Galatea about what he has done.

Eps 6: Cracking The Code

Danny meets with David— his former employee—a tech genius who presents a tech-style answer to Galatea’s appearances. Inexplicably, and when Danny writes about his character he is writing a pseudo-computer code. Worse yet, in his zealousness and effort, he has created a “feedback” loop, affecting both of them: They are each evolving as Danny continues to write fiction and thus “codes” both of their existences, experiences and perhaps their destinies, too. David further speculates that this implies that they all exist—persons and characters alike—in a simulation that they each build shape and design.
