The Final Draft

The Final Draft

“To fight a story that burns, you must build one that shelters.”

A wave of inexplicable violence ripples through coastal Cornwall - arguments turning to assaults, strangers to enemies.
Dr. Elowen Carne, The Listener, traces the contagion to the ruins of a forgotten chapel where a massacre was once justified as purification.
The land has preserved that hatred as a self-replicating echo, a story seeking hosts. To halt the spread, Ellie gathers the remnants of her community to compose a counter-narrative - a living grammar of repair.
But every act of creation courts destruction, and every listener must decide which story to serve.

The Final Draft is both prophecy and requiem: a story of ideas about language, contagion, and hope.
