Across several Michigan suburbs, lives unfold behind glowing screens. Separate, insulated, and quietly fraying. A viral prank escalates beyond control. A teenager searches desperately for a way out of humiliation. A mother drifts into online conspiracies and borrowed certainty. A wife measures her life against curated perfection. A man is pushed to the brink by what he witnesses through a screen—and by what it awakens inside him.
Over the course of a single winter night, their paths collide. What begins as content becomes consequence. What feels distant and virtual turns immediate and unforgiving.
Bubble Screen is a gripping, multi-voiced novella about the modern digital age. About how social media distorts truth, erodes empathy, and traps people inside carefully constructed realities. It is a story of shame and silence, of bystanders and complicity, and of the fragile moments when someone chooses to act.
