… Early Jodo vs Late Jodo — The Dabbler.

… in a seemingly abandoned city that is rotting and crumbling, a cat emerges from the shadows to stretch itself in a lone beam of sunlight. At the order of the boy in the tower, Meduz the Hawk attacks. I won’t tell you what happens next, although I will say that what on the surface seems like gross-out horror is actually a dense, resonant, symbolic something-or-other that feels a little like a poem, a little like a parable, a little like a riddle, and a little like an isolated sequence from a long nightmare.
