It won 2nd place out of 30 entries when I entered it into Joecifur's Christmas Contest in December 2007. it was a mixed media contest with entries that included digital art, animations, sewing and stories.

The only friends he has are a wise woman named Tessa and a loyal sled dog named Gent. One night, he has a dream where a mysterious stranger visits him and Gent in his home. When he comes to, he finds himself drawn into a world of wonder and awe.
