50 Ways to Tell a Story

A young man receives a mysterious gift of tea from a lover. After drinking it, he’s plagued by severe headaches, nausea, and bouts of delirium that make him question his sanity. As the days go by, his symptoms intensify—disturbing nightmares of snakes, a relentless pressure behind his eyes, and blackouts that steal time from him. In the end, the affliction consumes him entirely, as two snakes emerge from his eyes, overtaking him and ultimately sealing his fate.

This story was developed as part of the 50 Ways to Tell a Story project, a creative challenge using three randomly chosen words—Liquid, Reflection, Being Inside—to craft a narrative expressed through 50 unique artistic interpretations.

At the end, all 50 ways were exhibited together.
