Arlene Gartner is a plain, shy, and modest girl from the Midwest with a dangerous secret. Locked away in a mental asylum, she wants to be left for dead to protect the world - from herself. Diagnosed by the doctors with Dissociative Identity, everyone around Arlene believes that this is all in her head. But Arlene knows there is something terribly more sinister going on. And unbeknownst to the staff and the world at large, Arlene is right.

This story is a work of fiction, and does not actually depict the lives and suffering of people with real Dissociative Identity (Also known as Multiple Personality Disorder.) Instead, this story is designed to entertain and should not be taken as an explanation or example.

As part of my Dreamwalkers: Short Story Collection, this short story is intended to cover events taking place within the worlds or plot of my Dreamwalkers book series but which is not directly addressed within the main series itself. While there are references to events and characters from my main series, this story is written to stand on its own and can be enjoyed without previous exposure to the main series.

Cover art is my own work, and is temporary until finalized.

Fearborne

7 parts Ongoing Mature

---- This is a work in progress. Feedback is Welcome ----- In a world where fears manifest as superpowers, society is divided between the powerful "Fearborne" and the powerless "Fearless." The government tightly controls these abilities, assigning roles and exploiting powers for its own gain. Ashford Steele, known as Jinx, is a Fearborne whose Dissociative Identity Disorder shapes her unique relationship with her powers. Each of her alters-distinct identities within her-brings their own strengths and perspectives, making her one of the most versatile and unpredictable supers in the system. As Ash navigates a society that glorifies superpowers while exploiting those who wield them, she struggles to balance the expectations placed upon her with the voices of her alters, each offering guidance, conflict, and strength. Joining CivGuard, a division tasked with maintaining peace, Ash begins to uncover the dark truths behind the system she serves. From the stark inequalities between Fearborne and Fearless to the government's ruthless exploitation of powers, Ash's journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and the search for true heroism. As they work together-or at times, against each other-she must decide whether to uphold the corrupt system or fight for a future where fear no longer dictates destiny.
