Visible Stories

Book 1 in the To Be Insane series. A drug gone wrong in 2026 has plagued the people of Earth, dividing them into 4 levels of insanity after killing billions. The largest group are the Insanes: people whose minds can't handle reality anymore, destroyed. The other three levels are Sanes, Selunas, and Half and Halves. Now in 2047, the Bellatores is a new, mini-army of the USA; they're injecting the cure into those who have become insane from the drug. Seventeen-year-old Hartford Utane is one of these brave Bellatores men as well as the only Half and Half in their division; one of the 40 million who lie between being Sane or Insane. Guided by a troubling past, he and his friends fight to cure the worldwide pandemic of insanity, losing many but refusing to give up hope. However, Hart is mentally unstable, even in his Sane state. With a new heartbreak, he begins to make rash decisions; and one of them results in his being captured. Robbie Delante, 21 years old, has more secrets than he's willing to share. A man guided by compassion despite the pulling urges of possession, Hart's kidnap begins to reveal more than Robbie bargained for... including the secrets that change their relationship. The secrets that make Hart question some things he thought he knew about himself. Romance (sort of) and Science Fiction.

He could only see the colors in people. She saw nothing but gray. He took life for granted. She captured life on camera. "One more smoke won't hurt." He would say. "One more smoke will bring you closer to the brink of death." She would reply. "Yeah? Well, maybe I want that." Was always how he ended it. It was odd how much they differed.

"So, what's been alluring your attention outside the window?" She sighs deeply, "Well, for a minute it was just the moon and its dazzling effulgence. But, then my eyes started to wander to the streets, and to the teenagers. I want to be one. I want to be a photo-copied, replica of the people who meander the streets underneath the jet black skies-polluted mind, dirtied soul and all." **** Two souls whose lives are contingent upon what happens in a housing for people who are better off dead.
