It wasn’t exactly conventional — even in a dystopian, futuristic world — for there to be three people in a household, living together as would-be partners against the tides of the world.

James Dean was messy. He had hang-ups.

Daisy got lost in books all too often.

Gatsby felt like he was watching over two kids sometimes.

But at night, when it was just the three of them together, there was something tranquil about it.

As if they had been meant to be a triad to fight off the world’s ills.

Insane? Perhaps.

But life is strange for a reason.

This series is inspired by 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in a city on the brink of dystopian musings. Each story is 100 words, a snapshot of a larger narrative at play.
