Jagged Mind

In a city where the line between waking and dreaming blurs, Billie lives a life threaded with unsettling gaps in her memory. Her days are punctuated by brief, disorienting blackouts that leave her clutching fragmented images and unanswered questions. As she strives to maintain a semblance of normalcy—curating an art exhibition and navigating a circle of close friends—she is haunted by the feeling that something fundamental about herself is slipping away. The atmosphere is a moody blend of contemporary urban life and psychological unease, with quiet cafés, dimly lit bars, and hushed gallery halls serving as backdrops to her inner turmoil.

The relationships surrounding Billie are both anchors and sources of tension. Christine appears as a lover whose presence is as intoxicating as it is bewildering, while Kim, an old friend, offers practical concern and skeptical counsel, reminding Billie of the importance of her memory exercises. A chance encounter with Alex at a bar introduces a charismatic yet enigmatic figure who seems to understand the fractures Billie endures, inviting her into a world that feels simultaneously familiar and alien. Meanwhile, Rose Porter, a celebrated Haitian artist whose work Billie is set to showcase, embodies a haunting allure that mirrors the protagonist’s own sense of mystery.

As the story unfolds, Billie is drawn deeper into a quest for truth, compelled to piece together the shards of her past before they dissolve completely. The tone remains suspenseful and introspective, balancing moments of intimate connection with an undercurrent of dread. Each interaction nudges her closer to confronting a hidden reality about her identity—one that promises to reshape her perception of memory, love, and the very fabric of her existence.
