Young has painted a world on fire – yet hope abides. As angels tumble from glory, winged horses stand at the ready – prepared for their gallop to freedom regardless of surrounding or circumstance. Here is Young the storyteller at his apex narrative setting best – establishing the scene in a frenzy of poetic imagery – darkness, light and uncertainty, good vs evil and horse ex machine – creating both an epic tale of mankind and another day in the city of Miami.
