Triskele is a psychological story about a family torn apart by tragic and unexpected circumstances, portraying the events that will shape a young boy and his little sister being reared by an alcoholic single mother. Each member of the familial group will make choices that influence, or perhaps determine, where their futures will lead them. The story explores the irrational behaviors people embrace and the seemingly antithetical, yet underlying reasons, for their actions. Paul is nearing the final stages of his inner city deaconship. As he approaches ordination circumstances arise that place his assured lifelong road to the priesthood in sudden jeopardy. He is consumed with feelings of guilt, tormented by terrifying nightmares and loses his balance in the face of an abrupt lust for a woman, Lillian who seems unattainable. Beth, a promising art student, acts out in promiscuous and myriad self-destructive ways that threaten her success, not only at the university, but also on the greater art scene of Greenwich Village. Particular works of art illuminate Beth’s psychic demons and desires throughout the story.
