Homosexuality. It was a word Shelton Morris was taught to hate and fear. They, in his opinion, should be locked up and kept away from society like the rest of the mentally ill people. He never knew he'd cross paths while trying to write a story with a man by the name of Timothy Harrison, a young homosexual kept in one of these so called institutions. Secrets start to twist and unravel before the writer, causing his fictional horror story to bloom into an informative tragedy as he explores the truth and terror of what went on when society casted a blind eye on the unwanted.

I had thought this living arrangement would be simple: one girl, two boys, living together but leading separate lives. I'd vastly underestimated how easily and rapidly those lives could fuse together. I felt nauseous and torn apart, my body standing on a fuzzy carpet floor, my heart reaching for the kind of love I knew I'd never had, my mind screaming somewhere in between. Maybe I didn't know what I was getting into.

I'm sick of crying tired of trying. Yeah I might be smiling but inside I’m dying. They don't know me or what I've been through, yet they still judge me. I've been through hell and back. I've seen and heard awful things. After what I've been through I dont see how they affect me, but they do. They call me the mute emo dork. I guess why it hurts so much is because its true.

Civet didn't mean to kill the boy. "It was just an accident." She never had to say this to anyone, because no one found out. The day she died in a car crash, her whole world turned into hell. Literally. Kerberos didn't believe she belonged there and took her to live on an unknown town called Scorneo. Where everything evil lives.

In a small town somewhere in South Dakota, a population of only about one thousand stands. When the teenagers of the town begin to go missing, they only assume a serial killer is at work, fearing for their lives. Though the odd part is that exactly twenty-four hours following each kidnapping, an unknown teenager appears that looks exactly like the original, claiming to be the missing one. Only few don't believe it, but when the IDs and documents begin to match up, they're at a loss of explanation. Once the odd teenagers' disappearances stop, they think the menace may have finally left. But when another disaster strikes the town, the population may have no other choice than to step up and face whatever power is at work, or suffer the consequences.
