Rosemary-Zeal:
The Normal Illusion

Rosemary-Zeal: The Normal Illusion is a 52 chapter story following the world and lifetime of Iris Rosemary and Zachary Zeal the 3rd in three eras of their lives. The story is a Sci-Fi, Romance, Political thriller with elements of body horror set in Vancouver, BC, Canada in a world not unlike our own.

​

It begins with the first era/chapter of the world; Prelude (Chapter 1-11): A Set of stories set before the main events, starting grounded with the simple love stories, illusions, disillusions and the beginning of something beautiful between younger Rosemary and Zeal. However the world does not revolve around Rosemary-Zeal, as there are events unrelated to the two, such as the tale of The Alien, who's event occur just outside the eyesight of the main course.

​

Evergreen Vol. 1 (Chapter 12-23): Years after collage, Zachary Zeal the 2nd is declared dead, his fortune left with his son, who has made a deal with life long family friend, Terrell Canning, the CEO of e-CLOUD: Storage, a company growing out of it's electronic cloud storage into an enterprise. Meanwhile after many months of no contact, Iris Rosemary and Zachary Zeal reconnect, picking up where they left off with complication along the way. However due to various skeletons in Terrell's closet, Zachary Zeal is blackmailed by a third party only referred to as "The Triad", leading Zachary to leave upon short notice.

​

Evergreen Vol. 2: Homecoming (Chapter 24-35): After what feels like a lifetime and torture, Zachary Zeal makes it back home, after the Triad is satisfied with his results, their plot goes ahead to take down a major CEO, Terrell Canning who begins his campaign running for mayor. After cutting ties with The Pizza Van, Zachary Zeal receives news of his mothers passing. Struck with grief, Zachary burns any connection he had with the Triad and sells all his shares with CLOUD Enterprises, formerly known as e-CLOUD: Storage.

​

The Normal Illusion (Chapter 36-48): Years go by, CLOUD Enterprises as been bought by [redacted] and Iris Rosemary has started her own company. Zachary is left with a whole lot of housing that his father not only done the architecture  for but also owned a whole lot, now sold to [redacted]. After marrying, Iris and Zachary Rosemary-Zeal settle together in the suburbs. Living their lives as though nothing eventful happened over the years, living the normal illusion.

​

Epilogue (Chapter 49-52): Nearing the end of  their days, Rosemary-Zeal lived a happy life, leaving behind a positive legacy.

I've left behind a lot of details as I continue to workshop this project into final form, I figure I'd leave a brief post to refer for public eyes to read. If it takes a lifetime to write so be it, it will be my story to tell at the end of the day.

Thank you for reading, have a nice day

Cheers!
