Omyri's Eternity

Omyri, once a carefree child idolizing his older brother Ozai, finds his world shattered when Ozai is brutally murdered. Years later, still reeling from the trauma and Ozai's final words, Omyri is thrust into a new reality in Jacksonville. A chance encounter with Eternity, a girl new to the neighborhood, stirs something within him. Can he navigate his grief, the secrets of his past, and the possibility of new connections in a world forever changed by loss?

The warm sunlight of a typical Florida day illuminates the face of ten-year-old Omyri as he plays football with his cousins and friends in Lake City. Laughter and shouts fill the air, a soundtrack to carefree youth. His older brother, Ozai, watches on with pride.

Years later, the carefree innocence is shattered. A sudden hail of gunfire in a dimly lit alleyway ends Ozai's life, witnessed by a young Omyri. The pain and trauma of that night linger.

Now eighteen, Omyri lives in Jacksonville with his mother and baby brother, Olijah. He's withdrawn and antisocial, haunted by the past. A chance meeting with Eternity, a new girl in the neighborhood, begins to challenge his solitude, hinting at the possibility of new connections and a path towards healing, even as the shadows of Ozai's dangerous life may still loom.
