Cinque vite diverse, inconciliabili.
Cinque individui legati dallo stesso filo conduttore: nascondere la loro vera natura mostrandosi diversi.
Una concatenazione di eventi li farà incontrare, scontrare.
A uno a uno i segreti affioreranno in superficie, distrutti da eventi che credevano impensabili.
Niente è mai come sembra, quale sarà l'ultima maschera a cadere?

American Beauty
A tale that started back in a place further from home. A boy she remembers yet also forgets. Three years after returning to America, Selene finally finishes out her years as a college student, gearing up to graduate in her final and fourth year to complete a Bachelors in Art Sciences. She's set to graduate in three months in the state of Washington. The streets are quiet in her home neighborhood, but the city nights are always busy. Everything was going fine. She had her father's support, she was living in an apartment down in a city forty miles from Seattle and she drew quietly at home and went to school by day. She didn't even have to work so long as she had good grades, her father would pay her way. Then an unusual quiet night on campus sparked her curiosity. As the college closed up for the close of the quarter, she noticed them wandering the grounds. Four figures were hunched over at the fountain, one of them laughing loudly. She didn't usually pay any mind till she caught the reflection of one of their eyes, casting a yellow gaze back at her that shook her. A familiar look she couldn't place. She drew in closer, her voice timid to call out to them. Why did he come to mind? What happened to him after she was shot? She hardly could recall. Her mind was fuzzy with questions, but she began to notice more now that the group was either looming closer to her or she was drawing herself closer to them. When she got to them, the realization of what she did finally came to mind. This wasn't the type of can of worms she should have opened. Why couldn't she just remember to stay away?!

The Dartagnan Brothers Hotel
An old and never resolved dream comes back to haunt Jonas's mind for a night after years submerged into oblivion in the depths of his subconscious. After returning from work, he receives a call from his best friend, saying that the two were invited to a party at a glamorous hotel outside the city. Upon arriving at the party, he is faced with a splendid and extravagant place, failing to understand how its owners could keep such structure a secret. Right at the reception, a beautiful woman catches his eye and Jonas sets his mind to get to know her better. However, the place's nuances end up being more quirky than he could have imagined. The first surprise comes when he is invited to partake in a lucid dreaming session, joined by the host and the woman from the reception, who apparently are a very odd couple. Jonas is supposed to take a synthetically designed drug before joining the experience, which is given to him by Rodrigo, his best friend. The lucid dream experience leaves Jonas astonished by the extraordinary that was presented to him within the mechanism of the Dream Room, but Rodrigo messes up when changing the designed drug for a simple headache pill. From then on, Jonas starts having psychotic episodes where he alternates between two distinct realities, not knowing which is the right one and which is the dream, he goes on living lost between a maze inside the Dartagnan Brothers' Hotel and a red room where he he is stuck to a bed, being watched by the party's host, a mercenary doctor, a perverted priest, and a woman who seems to have old quarrels to settle with him. Gradually Jonas realizes what he did in the past to be trapped like that, discovering, after making friends with the host's long stranded brother in the maze, that his life is being hunted by a religious organisation. Jonas is surprised by a tangle of news about a new world that is presented to him, full of lucid dreams and drugs.Complete
Admiring the Light
Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death.

His Obsession
Today, on our wedding anniversary, I am bursting with excitement to meet my loving husband, Javier, at our venue. As a Yakuzas mafia leader, he waited patiently for me, despite knowing that I initially opposed our children joining the organization. However, like a generation-old doctrine, this was inevitable. I adore Javier, a wonderful husband and father, and our playful dynamic still thrives after 15 years. I am the "black cat" to his "golden retriever," keeping him on his toes. Before we met, my ex broke my heart, and Javier's men often witnessed their boss's pouty face when I teased him. Little did I know, our love story was about taking a dark turn. The next morning, I woke up in a hospital bed surrounded by beeping machines and sterile smells. A handsome stranger stood beside me and his eyes were filled with concern. "Who am I?" I demanded my voice to shake. "And who the hell are you?" The man's expression turned from concern to shock, and he hastily exited the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Was I paranoid or did this stranger pose a threat? I could not shake off the feeling that my life was about to take a dark and unexpected turn.Complete

Realm of Renee
Imagine waking up one morning, with no memories of the past three months. Learning that everyone you know is either injured, dead or brainwashed. And trying to remember your memories may result in coma or brain death, or atleast that's what the mysterious ISA claim. Don't worry, it gets better. Your past self has left behind a document, narrating all the events that has happened in the three months. A love story. Between two teenagers, one is a Human and the other, a Spirit. A love that made you do things, feel things, believe in things that you normally wouldn't have. Something that has blinded a rational person like you, maybe for the better, or worse. A love that was the best thing that had ever happened to you. And the worst part? You'll probably never remember any of it ever again. Join Renee and Noah, as they wind their way through carefully planned murders, prying eyes of the ISA, all while creating something highly illegal: The Realm of Renee. ***** 🥇1st place under Fantasy in the Carnival Awards. #1 in #realm.Complete
