On the Fringe: Olivia Bolling’s Cinematic Renaissance

Olivia Bolling stood under the golden lights on the cobbled streets of Via Por Santa Maria in the Italian city of Florence, glitter shining from the corners of her eyelids, and a small grin stuck to her face.

This letter is to you, the Exiles. Whether you stayed or went, you have been separated from the King’s community that was. The virus struck like a lightning bolt, and before anyone had time to blink, our home was gone. That shock has now passed; our rocky transitions complete, we have (more or less) become accustomed to our new realities. We now face another obstacle, the ever-imposing question: “Now what?”

The tear gas released by police officers’ into the predominantly peaceful crowd clouded her vision. An officer walked towards her demanding she leave the premises immediately. Then, as she walked away, stopping just momentarily to help a girl who had tripped behind her, she was struck down in the ribs by an officer’s baton.
