Phantom Atrium

By: Speranza, Mary Christine

In a future ruled by regulation and fear, children are forbidden from touching the digital world. Tablets, phones, and screens have become criminal contraband. For Fred and Georgina Holloway, loving parents of five-year-old Alon, the rule is simple-until the day their son plays a forbidden game on an old phone.The punishment is older than the law itself. Parents who violate the Child Device Act must choose: a lifetime sentence in prison... or exile within Mall-a sealed commercial complex that never truly closes.Fred chooses the mall.Phantom Atrium drifts between dream and dread, exploring a world where nostalgia becomes prison, surveillance becomes faith, and every mall aisle hides a reflection that doesn't quite move in sync. A haunting found-footage novel told through fragmented transcripts, analog tapes, and corrupted memories-where every light flicker feels like someone pressing record.
