Spools of Red Twine

SPOOLS OF RED TWINE is narrated by Rebecca Stonewall, a painfully frank and self-aware young woman who finds herself working a soul-sucking job as a cashier at a health food store. This timely satire critiques society, ridiculous individuals, and the emptiness of being forced to continue on with the status quo. Haunted by a dream of being chased by Madness, she becomes aware of her own hypocrisies. Unable to move, she realizes that fear is acting as a glue, and madness a beckoning hand she is unable to follow. Just as she falls into the suffocating pool of insincerity and emptiness, she meets James, laconic on the surface, but intensely focused on what really matters, who brings her back into herself. He is the antithesis of order and control, and inspires her to rebel back against society and her own burdening expectations. But did her dream predict the future? Is James real, or is he Madness– and he’s finally caught up? Spools of red twine will seal her fate. Wake up. Wake up. She can’t be late.
