Alexander has a strange and unhealthy habit, leftover from childhood, of blurring his eyes and imagining that his father is him. He mentions it in the excerpt below as he’s watching some film footage from the past.
Excerpt: Are they to be given no peace at all? Possibly some of the ‘him as me’ habit is carrying into this; I’m taking it all really personally.
Alexander: Dancing with Fire
When Alexander turns eighteen, he learns that he has inherited a castle, the one that houses the dance school he attends, to be exact. He’s always wanted a do-over, a chance to fix the broken parts of himself and his life. Could this be it?
Instead of allowing the school to continue on as normal, Alexander throws the students and teachers out and claims the castle as his own.
At first he’s lonely. At first he’s hesitant. Will he have any friends left after this? The events of his uncle’s televised wedding at the castle prove that, while Alexander definitely still has friends, his broken ankle is actually the least damaged part of him.
Within the ancient castle walls, a world of dark family secrets is revealed. Join Alexander as he dances on the edge of sanity and survival, navigating through the flames of his turbulent past to forge a new future.
