Existential Night Flyers
by Brian Brooks
Existential Night Flyers tells a story of Goth Cat, a brooding cat who is on his own but looking for connection. He sends his messages out to the world.
This series was created bedside at the Barrows Neurologic Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Hospice of the Valley, where I sat with mom as she unexpectedly died of unknown causes. September–October 2024, Phoenix, Arizona.
Goth Cat is one of the last things I talked with mom about, as he was my latest character I had just created. This is Goth Cat’s first adventure.
