This story truly embodies the tantalizing journey that life presents us. The meaningless void it can throw us in, leaving us with never ending scars. However there is also beauty in it all. When we view the world with others the darkness of the past gets blurred leaving only happiness.

"The Horizon" follows a boy after viewing his mother die. This destroys the boy turning him into a nihilists devoid of any reason to live. Until he meets a girl. The two travel down a long road moving forward no matter the adversities in their path. Creating a bond that can never be broken.

The Horizon blends the line between what is right and wrong. It poses morale questions that truly have no answer and puts our characters in the middle of it. These decisions degrade them and make them loose semblance of what their life means. However they are able to overcome the dark feelings surrounding when they enjoy life's small pleasantries together. Simple beauty can overcome the strongest disparities, showing us the humanity in everything and everyone.

Death is a prevalent theme in "The Horizon". Many characters wish to die to end the suffering plaguing them and will give up living if it means to end the insufferable loneliness and pain. We learn however that when we find someone we care about, we find new meaning in protecting them. We see characters relearn humanity through each other. Demonstrating the artists belief that human connection can conquer fear and pain. When we find others who bring forth joy we discover that life is not meaningless, and death can not erase the connections we have made.

I have never experienced a apocalyptic story that focused so little on the actual events of the disaster, instead showing how the characters interact within it. This leads to a compelling tale of the human psyche. Displaying the ideas of nihilists and how they interpret the world around them. Love is what makes the world grounded and round, it leads us down a never ending path. This path even with no clear direction is enjoyable since it can be walked with others who feel the same things we do. This is the beauty of the world and the reason we strive to live.

"The Horizon" is a masterpiece that showed me the importance of relationships.

I hope it will do the same for you.
