Iconoclasm

It’s snowing in Wellington. It shouldn’t snow in Wellington. Thomas can’t bring himself to go home after work. It’s not clear why.

Thomas wanders the city, looking for meaning, but can’t find it anywhere. Meeting people from his past brings him face-to-face with the present.

This short novella questions whether the structures of the world are capable of reckoning with the crises we face.
