In a 1922 reimagining of The Great Gatsby, Nathaniel Harrow observes Gideon Strathmore, a poor man turned millionaire on Lake Veridian. Strathmore built his empire with 1,000 wives, their earnings fueling his wealth. His lavish West Shore parties draw women from both shores, clashing with East Shore’s old money, like Nathaniel’s cousin Eliza and her husband, Thomas. This new vs. old money conflict sets the stage for drama. Chapter 1, Page 1 (9,000 characters) introduces this world, part of an 8-chapter, 8-page-per-chapter book totaling 576,000 characters.
