The Prism

by Stephanides

In the fractured town of Briorsford, a statue of colonial-era figure Lord Anthony Brior disappears under cover of night, igniting fury, suspicion, and a surge of street protests. As tensions boil over between left-wing activists and right-wing agitators, an ambitious but bitter young writer tries to break the story first by twisting facts, fanning flames, and spinning narratives to elevate his struggling media brand. But when an ominous black Prism appears floating above the empty plinth, everything changes. Political outrage spirals into existential dread, and the battle for public meaning becomes more than symbolic. The Prism is a razor-sharp satire of media manipulation, protest culture, and the madness of meaning-making in an age of spectacle.
