A short story: Le Manage D'Andrea

A few weeks ago I was asked to do a short presentation and instead of your standard presentation standing in front of an audience talking (a nightmare as an AvPD sufferer), I decided that I would write a short story and time the powerpoint allowing the audience to read the story themselves. 

A weekend break in Brussels inspired me to write this story, I was fascinated by the way everything was so twisted. Happy, children's rides had a twisted darkness behind them, contemporary art which had an effective look but was also rather creepy. There seemed to be complete contrast in everything.

I used photographs I had taken during my time in Brussels, some are edited to fit with the story, for example using sepia/greyscale instead of the original colour versions. These are the slides I used:
