Escapsim Stories

He was the greatest hero in his world. Unstoppable. Beloved. Getting the girl. The only problem? None of it was real. Hunter has spent years inside a fantasy of his own making: fighting the same villain, saving the same princess, escaping the same life that broke him. But today, the villain went off-script. Said his real name. Begged him to come back. So John did what any hero would do. He killed him. Permanently. Some people lose themselves in grief. John built an entire universe to get lost in instead. This is the story of what happens when even that stops being enough.

A girl who had always desired the love of others awoke one day in the world of her favorite book. When she opened her eyes, she realized she wasn't the main character.

However, it wasn't that simple to live a peaceful life given that the character's fate was supposed to be death. What will happen next?

I didn't know who I was. Not literally. I knew my name. It's Macey. I'm sixteen, turning seventeen in a few weeks. But then what? I didn't know who I was, or who I had been or who I was going to be. I was having an existential crisis, and I was near insane. I did know one other thing. I wanted to write. I wanted to write about the world, and the people who stay up late at night and go to work or college the next day with bags under their eyes. I want to write about the girls who's veins are filled with stories of survival, and who's lips taste like coffee and cigarettes on a cold Sunday morning. It was an art, and I wanted to be the artist. But I could not fathom the right compilation of words to write. I wanted to write about the world. But the world as it really is. Stripped bare, raw and grey, like the people who inhabited it.
