This is a story I wrote when I was around 16 years old. I had been diagnosed with depression, and was prescribed antidepressants that I had a poor reaction to. I developed multiple personalities and audio/visual hallucinations. I had a hard time expressing my struggles to those closest to me. I used writing to depict what was going on in my head. The characters and plot and themes involved here may seem strange, twisted, or even off-putting, which was kind of the point. My mental state was akin to this story. Luckily, I received treatment that eventually got rid of these symptoms. I quit writing this story, but I kept it up here as a reminder of what I went through and how far I've come. TW// mentions of self-harm, mental illness, abuse. ********************************** Rynnie Right: "I thought I knew what pain was. I thought that I had it rough.

But after I hurt her, I realized - I was wrong all along." Ruffy Winter: "I thought I could handle the most stressful of situations.
