Unmasked is a platform, an app, a world where you can be you. Unmasked is about you, your life, your story, your words. Who are you underneath all that skin, muscle and bone?
Unmasked is a place where you can tell your story how you want it told, let people know you how you want to be known. It is a world where you can be a nameless, faceless soul, known only for who you truly are, not the body you've been given or the labels imposed on you. It is a place where you can be true to yourself, while your secrets are still secret. It is a place to leave your brain and your logic behind and to simply surrender to your heart and to allow it to scream the cries you smothered, voice the desires you buried and free the truths you kept captive.
***
This is not a story, it a collection of stories. It is a tapestry woven from the threads of various lives. So read on, if you want to see lives unfurled, truths set free and people unmasked.

He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
