Ophelia

When the switch flips, does one notice it? Is the change significant enough to be seen by the one experiencing it? She wonders. Madness: what defines madness? The word itself is simply vocabulary, merely a bunch of letters thrown together craftily. Ancient for ‘fury’ or ‘rage’. She analyses her symptoms. No, she is not angry. ‘Great folly’… ‘A derangement of sorts. Maybe. 'An enthusiasm… excitement’. For what?! It’s unbelievable; none define losing memories of her life three months ago. None describe feeling an unnatural connection to Christopher Yego and only him. Nothing defines her state of loony. Ophelia is a psychological thriller set in a metropolitan Nairobi-Kenya. An in-depth depiction of psychological dissonance. Critics’ choice for new face writer of the season.
