The Ferryman

Every myth is a tale half-told
When the darkest of vice meets red-stained ice, we hear it all unfold!
It is 2035 CE (covid era). Este, a disgraced and broken ex-intelligence officer, finds herself in the middle of a small isolated island community, frozen and barren on the edge of the world, with the 'virus' at the core of its existing divisions. She has come here searching for a second chance, a chance to redeem herself from the demons of an unforgiving yet forgotten past. In doing that, as she tries hard to blend into this near-about dystopian world, she realises that subtle is scarce; ominous rituals, 'handsome' dead bodies, the flaring 'mythical' and a sinister Belief surround her, shadowing the darkness that is growing within her. Sleuthing skills, a favouring instinct and an overbearing empathy act as her only shield, as she navigates between the intrigues of this remote coastline and that of her mind, much desperate to untangle the meaning of her long-quested salvation.
She is also confident. Perhaps a little too much. She thinks she has all the reins of both probe and patriarchy. But nothing is as it seems. Not even her. She is much more than who she is much more than she will ever know!
Hence, when the land dangles a mirror in front of her, it is she who must choose.
The End.
Of her and of this story.
