A psychiatrist once told Stella Montgomery that perception is reality. That same psychiatrist told her many other things, too. Those weren't important. What was important colored her reality: psychosis. One simple word. It colored many years of her life, until she finally got it under control. The shadows, that harbored things best left alone, grew smaller. They stopped moving. Fantastical creatures, found in small sunbeams and hidden pockets withdrew into their world. Her world had a lot less color without them. Yet, despite the years of fractured reality, she survived. Stella achieved her goals and continued to work towards new ones. She was thirty. She was alive. Then one woman walked into her life, dropped life changing news in her lap, and walked away. Once more, Stella has one chance. And the stakes have never been higher. Runner up in the general fiction category in the Earnesty Writing Awards 2019. Cover by w_nnie! And my thanks to them.
