Greatest
A teenager recounts the last few months of his life as he refuses to fight his father's battles and desperately tries to experience all he can before an aggressive brain cancer claims him. Loosely based on Christopher Marlowe's 'Tamburlain the Great'. Cyrus Laine is given less than a year to live, and he's determined to make it the greatest year of his life. He is going to go to school, kiss his crush, and most of all, hide his debilitating illness from everyone, including his younger brothers. It's not going well, considering his crush is the handsomest boy in school who probably isn't gay, he's having seizures and raging headaches at every turn, and his father is riding him harder than ever, but Cyrus is determined to make this the greatest year of his life, or die trying. Trigger/Content: some brief violence and profanity, psychological and physical abuse, some upsetting sequences and conversations involving end of life issues and cancer. Be aware of your mental state and seek support if needed.Complete
