Madeline Carver, 29 years old, is attending the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in North Dartmouth, MA. She has a registered IQ of 191 and is considered as being one of the greatest minds ever known to humanity. Before her attendance at UMass Dartmouth, Madeline went to Harvard at age 16. While she's at Harvard, she meets another 16-year-old kid named Malcolm Thomas. Madeline and Malcolm develop a rivalry at Harvard and, over time, Madeline has to leave after getting her master's degree in applied mathematics so Madeline can become an actuary. As she strives to be an actuary, her mind is constantly battered by ill-fated external events and gets a case of schizophrenia, then eventually psychosis and depression. After Harvard, it grows into an increasingly more troubling task for Madeline to discern fantasy from reality. She decides to voluntarily admit herself into a mental hospital when it becomes too stressful for her to live in the outside world. This book follows Madeline and her experiences of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and the psych ward. It is told as a third-person narrative. (This is book 1 of a 2-book series. Book 2 will be published before the end of 2019, depending on how well this novella does.)

Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.

🌸 So far, so good. Despite everything, Madeline's still standing, still living - though her life has been upended more than once. Moving from America to England wasn't exactly easy but oddly enough, the return was much simpler. With little more than the bare minimum from her parents, and diabetes always complicating things, she had to rely on her brother for real help. Now, as she steps back into Nashville, she wonders how this might realign her path. Somehow, everything feels like it's falling into place. She's exactly where she needs to be - though there's one complication : a boy. Something she didn't planned at all. And maybe he's part of the plan, too. Maybe for the better. 🏒 Hockey has always been one of Jude's greatest loves, ever since he can remember. And to be blunt, he's damn good at it. But don't mistake him for the typical player type you read about in books. He doesn't have girls lining up outside his door, and when there is someone, he treats her right - once, and only once. It's a rule he set for himself. He met his best friend Colin during a hockey game, both rooting for opposite teams. Colin was on the wrong side, of course, but somehow, they became inseparable. Colin has diabetes, so over time, he learned how to help. What he didn't expect was for that knowledge to help him with a girl. A girl more complicated than any genetic disease. But maybe that's a challenge worth taking. ° ° ° Welcome to this new book. Please don't forget to vote, comment and share ❤️

Isaac has always felt like something's been missing. In the midst of his quiet, ordinary life, a strange presence keeps him company-someone he calls Maya. At first, she feels like the only real thing in his fractured world, a comforting voice guiding him through every hardship. But as Isaac begins to unravel the mysteries of his past, something unsettling starts to emerge. The world around him doesn't behave as it should. Conversations don't make sense, people act strangely, and time seems to stretch and bend in ways that don't fit. Isaac is left wondering: What's real? As the boundaries between illusion and reality begin to blur, Isaac is confronted by a terrifying truth. He is not the person he thought he was. In fact, he might not be a person at all. Who created him? And why? In a descent into madness, Isaac must confront the chilling possibility that everything he's known is just a story-one that may be reaching its inevitable end.
