'A True History' follows a snake named Jack, and his personal struggles, while writing propaganda for the Free Thinkers Party. He fights venom, hallucinations, and creative control. Things take a turn when he is assigned the task of writing a manifesto for their Dictatorship. This semi-fictitious, surreal story is based on the author's own life, mixed with excerpts from his dying father's book of deathbed confessions and religious ramblings.
