<p-color-blue>A Month of Sundays<p-color-blue> is a narrative work of <p-color-blue>auto-fiction<p-color-blue> that loosely ties images of the <p-color-blue>real world<p-color-blue> with the feelings and events which produced them. It is a story told through the ideas and beliefs of others, exploring how we define ourselves through <p-color-blue>our alignment with and rejection of<p-color-blue> the ways of being of the people around us. The work spans an indeterminate amount of time, and exists in that space of <p-color-blue>perpetual waiting that comes before life truly begins<p-color-blue>.
