Bohemian Divide

By Christopher Rolls

2040s. West Nicolas Winters is forced from his family home, driven to a choice amid the flames dancing in his bedroom-escape into the night or stay. The emancipated teen awakens at a second crossroad on the hill of the neighbourhood park.

Assaulted and alone, he has no choice but to seek shelter with his estranged uncle and aunt. His uncle, a faith-wielding high school principal, is a man his father had once thrown through a window. With nowhere else to turn, West finishes his last months of school under his uncle's roof, where he meets Kirsty. She offers him a shortcut to financial freedom, but her confidence in him leads to a brutal fall. Failure slams him into the depths. Broken, lost, bloodied on the floor, West stares into the abyss at the bottom of a well.

A world-famous actor, Alistair A. Brassington, steps into West's scorched path. Betrayed, beaten, and weary of the stranger in the spotlight, Brassington offers West a place by his side-as his assistant on the set of Shattered Mirror, a global phenomenon in its seventh season. Owned by the omnipresent ISP Seven, with privacy as a new enemy and the world on edge over the rise of AI, West's bohemian innocence collides with the power, scrutiny, and weight of his past. His new life may bury him deeper than the one he left behind.

Mourning, hospitals, and malicious headlines. Follow West's swagger and Alistair's sway across the burning bridge and navigate the fracture of a divided world.

This is the tale of lost innocence, one more thread woven into the Prismatic Thread series.
