Ink: Beneath the Stain
Zita Harrison
- A
- boy
- is
- born
- with
- a
- giant
- blue
- birthmark
- covering
- half
- his
- face,
- and
- given
- the
- name
- “Ink”
- by
- his
- quirky
- artist
- mother.
- In
- a
- world
- full
- of
- bias
- where
- no
- one
- escapes
- judgment,
- we
- watch
- him
- grow
- from
- an
- unconcerned
- toddler,
- to
- a
- spirited,
- defiant
- young
- boy,
- to
- an
- angry,
- hostile,
- and
- lonely
- teenager
- who
- despairs
- that
- no-one
- will
- ever
- see
- who
- he
- really
- is
- beneath
- the
- stain.
- Finally
- we
- see
- him
- as
- a
- calmer
- young
- man
- who
- is
- starting
- to
- accept
- his
- fate.
- Providence
- steps
- in
- and
- he
- is
- swept
- away
- by
- a
- billionaire
- entrepreneur
- to
- a
- different
- realm,
- the
- world
- of
- Art,
- where
- what
- others
- consider
- eccentric
- and
- bizarre
- are
- celebrated.
- Perhaps
- he
- has
- found
- his
- niche.
- But
- even
- now
- people
- have
- a
- hard
- time
- seeing
- past
- the
- birthmark.
- Then
- he
- discovers
- that
- two
- other
- people
- have
- also
- suffered
- from
- bias
- all
- their
- lives:
- the
- billionaire
- entrepreneur,
- lord
- and
- master
- of
- this
- new
- world
- of
- Art,
- and
- a
- beautiful
- dancer
- from
- Paraguay.
- The
- three
- form
- a
- charged
- and
- passionate
- relationship
- which
- hurtles
- towards
- tragedy.
- In
- the
- end,
- however,
- love prevails.
