Transmission 9 - Life Lessons - Section D

Creator
This episode is slightly shorter than the others. Like all my stories to date, I created these panels for landscape page and so frame 1 covered the entire top half of the page. the idea was to create a cinematic effect, a static way of 'panning' along and 'hearing' the different student theories. I have reduced the frame here to fit in with the Tapas format although this does make some of the writing a bit minuscule. Apologies then to mobile phone readers who may not be able to read everything, just make up your own theories instead (a prize for the best one)!
Incidentally, one of the theories (the one about the whole thing being a dream) is based on a hazy memory I have of a documentary on Andre Breton, the 'father' of Surrealism. Apparently (as I remember it) Breton, whilst working as a Doctor during World War 1, had to treat a number of 'shell-shocked' soldiers. One of them shared a similar theory with Breton, which in turn lead him to have a dream whereby dead soldiers got up and started laughing and shaking hands before leaving the battleground in a happy and civilised manner. In the documentary (as I remember it) this dream partly inspired Breton to go on to co-create the surrealist manifesto. Am I wrong? Has memory played me false? Perhaps I only dreamed it. Whatever the truth, this one's for you Andre!
