Design for Honor Joshua Holmes

Freelance graphic designer Remi Painter is fresh off of another close brush with death. To re-focus, he enters a design contest that promises some notice and a cash award. He shows to the event, where he expects to receive the coveted honor. Remi hopes that his story of persistence in the field and quality competition, despite his condition, epilepsy, will inspire those in attendance. Just as Remi is preparing to accept his honor and tell his story, however, he has one of the worst seizures he's ever had. Instead of waking to an expectant audience, he awakens to a nightmare, where the attendees are also on the floor next to him, either injured or dead. As rumors of terrorism spread, so also does speculation of a hijacking, and talk of other technicalities tied to the contest. Can Remi defeat postictal exhaustion, sift through the lies of the press, and pinpoint specific details about the tragic evening, to restore a semblance of honor to those lost, and in time to save the living?
