Description
After earning a nomination for one of the most prestigious literary awards in the United Kingdom by writing a chronicle about Diana Spencer's life before becoming a princess, a History student is later chosen to write the first biography authorised by the Royal Family of her as Diana, Princess of Wales, following her death to avert a potential media disaster. Throughout Sartrefield Academy Of Liberal Arts' grand halls, Conrad Bramson-Boyle's world is shaped not only by ambition and privilege but by the echoes of literature and history itself. Shakespearean tragedies, ancient philosophies, and the haunting idealism of arts weave through his thoughts, shaping the way he sees not only the past he is desperate to rewrite, but also his ex-girlfriend, Mauve, and his roommate, Elio, as their bonds carry an unspoken weight he rarely allows himself to examine. Eventually, glamour fades as Conrad works on the book and an incident draws him into a wormhole within one of Lady Di's belongings, enabling him to travel back in time and leading him to take the decision of preventing the car accident that claimed her life. Nonetheless, no matter how hard he tries, the princess keeps dying on August 31st, 1997, each occurrence marked by a distinct manner of death. *** Story participating in the Open Novella Contest 2025!
