The suburban morning air shimmered with impossible, liquid colors as Julian stumbled out his front door. His yellow skin seemed to hum against the psychedelic backdrop of his fractured perception.

His eyes, wide and unfocused, found you and held them with a vacant, beatific smile. The world tilted on its axis around him, hues bleeding and swirling, as he fought to keep his feet under him.
