INDIGO

Writer: Chi-Ho Kwong

Ella is a reporter for an occult magazine, living what appears to be a normal life. She’s not the best at getting along with people, but she has the special ability to sometimes know what other people are thinking. She also possesses an extreme sensibility which enables her to communicate with plants and animals. One day, Ella learns of the strange death of her college professor and beloved mentor, who seems to have committed suicide by starving to death. Instinct draws Ella to investigate the real cause of the professor’s death, which gradually unfolds a series of mysterious incidents which surpass Ella’s wildest imagination. As she investigates further, Ella encounters people who slowly guide her closer to the truth, which causes alternate forces to try and stop her pursuit. With help, Ella overcomes all odds, and in the process discovers she must fulfill her destiny and decide the fate of humanity, Earth…and the universe.

Indigo is a journey of self-discovery and searching for the purpose of life, as humankind has done over the past tens of thousands of years.
