"I admire your determination, really. I'll be sure to comment on it when you turn up in a body bag."

Addison didn't think it could get much worse than being admitted to a secluded, 'old fashioned' mental hospital, but when patients begin to go missing only to turn up dead a few days later, she quickly comes to the conclusion that the patients weren't the craziest thing behind the walls of Animus Valley.
Unable to stand back idly with the fear that she might be next, she tried her best to get answers out of the other patients, specifically Caim, who happened to be there whenever there's trouble, but when none of them talk, she takes it into her own hands.
And the more she unravels, the more her world becomes disjointed from beneath her. The grip she had on reality begins to slip.
Because after all, you don't go to Animus insane...
... It makes you that way.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete
Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family.

Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.Complete
Book 1: The Architect of Chaos
To understand a killer, you must walk the edge of your own mind. But how far is too far? Dr. Ava Sinclair, a brilliant but emotionally scarred psychiatrist, is tasked with evaluating Marcus Ravel, a notorious Trinidadian serial killer and the ruthless right-hand man of the infamous drug lord, Cyrus "The Ghost" Sadee. Marcus awaits execution, but his final wish is to speak with someone who can "understand" him. Ava is reluctant-her traumatic past in dealing with violent criminals resurfaces-but she accepts the challenge, drawn by a need to uncover the enigma behind his crimes. As Ava dives into Marcus's psyche, he begins to recount his crimes, painting each murder not as acts of brutality, but as pieces of a chilling "masterpiece"-each victim chosen and killed with unnerving precision for reasons only he fully understands. He speaks of patterns in human nature, a "design" he believes exists in chaos, and how he sees himself as the ultimate harbinger of justice for those who "disrupt the balance." Through their sessions, Ava finds herself entangled in Marcus's labyrinthine mind games. He reveals intimate knowledge of her past, suggesting he might have orchestrated events in her own life. She starts to question whether her role in this process is as objective as it seems or if Marcus has been manipulating her from the start. As Marcus recounts each crime, Ava begins to notice eerie similarities between his victims and people she knows. Is it coincidence, or is there a deeper connection between her and Marcus's gruesome "masterpiece"?Complete
