The CSB Experience 4: The Characters of "An Almost Affair"

I'll be posting a casting call real soon but for now, here's the lowdown on what the story is about and the characters dictated by love, passion, devotion and betrayal.

An Almost Affair

A story about love challenged, a story about views in contrasts, a story about relationships rekindled, a story about trying to forget the past in order to move on to the future.

At a time when family dynamics is in the middle of a major overhaul in modern-times, a recently-married couple sits in the dilemma of going either against or along the flow. A husband who tries to be supportive to his wife whom he encourage to do what she wants to do in life thinking that settling downy and start a family can wait.

The wife however is the complete opposite, who despite having a very promising future ahead of her, decides that being a housewife and a mother is what she wants to do as she tries to be the perfect wife to her husband: loving, caring, loyal, and everything else. Despite their differences, their love for each other have helped on keeping their marriage an almost unbreakable bond...until she came.

A brief encounter with another woman led to events that served as challenges to the husband and wife. The "other woman" is a co-worker of the husband whom he barely notices until the day they crossed paths. The husband saw in her something that his wife isn't, things that he wants to see in her and yet doesn't. He and the other woman became very close to each other, but unknown to the husband, the woman hides a past that continues to haunt her.

The wife feels the pressure of trying to please her husband, thinking his is slowly slipping away from her.

What follows after is a tale of decisions leading to events that will either break the bond the holds the husband and wife forever or give them a reason to find the will to trust each other again.

*This will be an interative photo-based web comic where visitors have the power to dictate the events of the story by voting what will happen next after every chapter's cliffhanger. Chapters will be updated every 1-2 weeks until it leads up to the final story arc. Past issues can be viewed on an archive webpage.

The entirety fo the project will be unraveled later on. :D
