Hmm. Seems like there's something Jungian about dis one, ne?

Oh, strange... my butterfly segment is inverted in respect to Christine's.

Jungian? Hmm, what specifically do you find Jungian about it, Damon?

Oh, there's the title: "gearing up to have a hero."
Then there's the Jekyll/Hyde bit ("the shadow")
That's all.

I have a suspicion that the word "to" was added by the admin to make "gearing up" and "have a hero" connect. I didn't write "to," anyway. Maybe each person should see part of what the last person wrote, like the exquisite corpse word game, so that this sort of intervention isn't necessary.

In terms of the collective unconscious, it really impressed me that the last corpse began and ended with shoes despite having no shoes in the middle slices...

The powers that be replaced the original word "for" with the word "to" since 'gearing up for have a hero' didn't seem grammatically correct.

Showing players the whole or partial title of the previous slice unfairly influences how they create their slice ... but, perhaps players could be shown the previous title AFTER confirming the slice they've uploaded, and then have the option to change their title?

How about asking for the title after the piece has been uploaded and confirmed?

I, personally, love the transition between panels 3 and 4 - how it looks like the two men are wearing giant crown-like hats. Definetly the kind of hats heroes would wear.
Beautifully done.
