This is the story of a girl named Emily who befriends Death.
Together, they grow and learn and are forced to challenge
everything they think they know.
Aims to update on Saturdays.

This comic is almost entirely created and set on the stolen lands of the Boon Wurrung
and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin nations. I would like to pay my respects to their elders
past, present, and emerging, and to their rich tradition of art and of storytelling.
Sovereignty was never ceded.
