The Seven Heightened Senses

A Poem and 12 Pictures

In the bleak and rundown town of Anakie, 17-year-old Lewis McKillop waits at a weathered bus stop—alone, observant, and carrying a secret even he doesn’t fully understand. Armed with his trusty camera and twelve photographs, he’s preparing for an interview... until the air shifts. A storm brews. Time bends. And a single glance from a stranger ignites something familiar, yet unknown. Reality fractures. The promise of another lonely, uneventful year is gone with the wind—replaced by something far greater. Something cosmic. Something destined. _____________________ Story and Production by JJ D'EMANUELE Book Available to purchase here.
