John Winston had a rough childhood. Traumatic experiences took a toll on his mind subconsciously, turning him into a ticking time bomb. John's dad walked out, his mother used mirrors to comfort him as she did drugs and the demonic rituals to hex John's Dad didn't make anything better. Now, 30 years later, John has become a scientist for a company know as Paralabs, where they study unearthly phenomenons. John has a weird obsession with mirrors but doesn't remember why. One night in the lab with a mirror triggers something that starts the process of John's fall. Is he being haunted, or has he just lost his mind?

Elena, John's wife, is supportive of John and his research, but slowly begins to resent him due to neglect and his obsession. To make matters worse, Elena begins to fall for Luke, a young man who she met through work. Things get hairy, and eventually all is exposed, sending John down a path he can not return from.

Researcher John begins his job working with the SCP foundation, having no clue of the horrors they are hiding. While John is working with this foundation, he learns many things. Some for the better, some for the worse. Whenever an alarm is set off, it's nothing much. That is, until it's much more than just "a pipe burst..." This was a rushed project I had to complete in under 9 months, so it might not be the best storytelling ever. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy! I do plan on making another book with the same characters. Not sure when, but I do imagine it will happen.
