Raining Knives
A twin murders his sibling. But then he comes back…
Dylan and Jeremy Fletcher are 17 year old twins. Identical, yet completely unlike each other in personality. Quiet, introverted Dylan feels eclipsed by his more outgoing, popular and extroverted brother. The story begins with Jeremy disappeared and Dylan harbouring a secret – he is responsible for his brother’s absence, as he killed him in a moment of impulsive rage.
The police have no leads and Dylan is not a suspect, as the story begins Dylan is quietly mourning his brother and stewing about what he has done.
And then he begins to see a familiar figure in the distance…
A modern ghost story exploring sibling rivalry and the border between teen age and adulthood, Raining Knives is a medium length, full colour completed webcomic available on it’s own site.
Apparently the author created a previous version of the story but the current one available on the site is a reboot – this is a common thing in webcomics, as an author’s skill improves they become dissatisfied with their early pages and wish to bring them up to their current standards. More often than not this results in burnout and an abandoned comic as retreading grounds is not as interesting and the labour of love becomes a chore. So congratulations to Moth for persevering. Particularly since the story is complete, another rarity for webcomics!
