Liminal Love

Liminal spaces are places where reality feels altered. Places like service stations, stairways, airports and waiting rooms. These places aren't definitive on their own, they're throughways between one destination and the next. Making them feel disconnected from reality. Also, when you go somewhere outside of its context: parks at night time, unfamiliar McDonald's on long journeys, your room at 5am and you're still awake, schools during holiday time. These places suddenly feel eerie at this time because it's out of the context that your brain is used to.
***
Ivy Andrews is 19, starting her second year of university and trying to navigate her life. Within the craziness she meets an interesting stranger, Alfie Myers.
Their encounters continue to happen in liminal spaces.
Can she get past the ambivalence of her feelings and trust the guy who appears in her life? Or will their relationship stay fleeting and mysterious?

Rules of Society
What if you lived in a world where how you truly felt made you feel like you were in a prison in your own mind? Imagine if you had to put on a smile every time you woke up, just to not feel the terrifying anguish of what would happen to you if you let your authentic feelings out, like your emotions are screaming behind your forced smile. This is exactly how Penelope feels when she lost everything she ever loved. Life in this dystopian 1950's timeline, is hell on earth for her and the worst part is she can never tell anyone how she genuinely feels without the consequence of breaking any rules. 'Be happy, be quiet, and don't be yourself. Even if you want to scream how you feel because you can't take it anymore, put your smile mask on and shut up.' Imagine if that was how you had to live every single day? Not being able to show any other emotion besides joy and it driving you insane because you desperately want to scream with everything in you, but feeling hopeless because no one knows you're screaming or crying out for help.Complete
