"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The story is written in the first person in the form of journal entries written by a woman who is living in an old mansion for the summer alongside her physician husband, John. As a form of treatment, the woman is forbidden to work and is encouraged to eat and get lots of air in order to recuperate from what her husband determines is a "temporary nervous depression."

George Henry Davidson is a young, 16-year-old patient at a psychological hospital in Orlando, Florida, USA. He was transported there from London because his parents did not want to draw attention to his condition, and preferred to keep it quiet and disguise it as a "vacation" to America. Struggling with depression and other diagnoses, George's mental stability is nearly worse than it was before. And then the boy with the caramel-colored hair came into his life. __________________________________ TW: depression, anxiety, mentions of panic attacks, hallucinations, mentions and descriptions of self-harm, psychotic attacks, mentions and descriptions of smoking, mentions of blood, violence, etc. __________________________________ Also for legal reasons this started out as a joke and then I got addicted to writing it at 2:00 AM, so this has nothing to do with the creators (mostly) and is purely for fun. Inspired from when Dream called George "the light that lights up the room" on Twitter once. Yes I dedicated an entire story to it, stfu- Also, I really tried to portray the struggle of mental health. I tried my best to show it accurately, but if you don't think it's in any way correct, please message me with suggestions (please be polite). Also, please let me know if I'm accidentally crossing any boundaries of any kind (I'm not aware of all of them). So yeah have fun reading :)
