When you're admitted to a mental hospital, the goal is rehabilitation.
Well, when I was admitted to a mental hospital, the goal was to keep me confined. And for what? I don't know.
They won't even tell me.
Valynn has been living at the Asylum for as long as she can remember. That would be a long time for most people, but for Val, it's almost two years. She doesn't have any recollection of where she was before or where she'll go if there ever is an after.
All she knows is that she needs to understand why she's been placed at the Asylum, or it will drive her mad.
That is, if she isn't already.

THE MIRROR DOESN'T BLINK
I thought Nirvan Hospital would be my beginning. A place to grow, to heal others, to find myself. Instead, it became a maze I can't escape. The patients whisper secrets no one wants to hear.

He says he's innocent. But why does everything around him fall apart? The deeper I go, the more twisted the truth becomes. And now... I'm starting to forget who I was before I met him. In a place full of mirrors, no one is truly seen. And when the truth finally shows its face... it might already be too late.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
How To Self Destruct?
I pace around the waiting room of the hospital as Jakira was sitting down shaking her leg nervously. The hospital was busy as nurses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. People in stretchers were coming in and out as well, as Melanie and Alexis finally arrived. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER DYLAND!" Melanie screams at me as she sprints toward me attacking me. "You fucking murderer!" She snaps as she grabs my hair pulling on it as Alexis tries to grab her off of me. "He didn't kill her!" Jakira tries to tell Melanie but she wasn't listening as her eyes were swollen from crying. I grab her arms pulling them to her sides and hugging her. "I'm sorry Melanie." I tell her as she calms down for a second before pushing me off of her. What happens when a man neglects his responsibilities? Or when he finds it hard to control his impulses?

Into the Unknown
Highest ranking #205 in mystery/thriller "Come up to the playroom, pet", he said, smirking. "Oh, screw you Vincent", she finally snapped. She got dragged into this anyway, but she'd be damned if she stood there and took this for another second! Suddenly, he grabed her and pinned her against the wall, her back making a loud noise as it collided with the wall. "I told you to call me Master", he growled. Aileen looked up at him, her eyes filled with raw terror. Vincent was big and strong, as he towered over her, he could seriously hurt her. Taken aback by the wild look in her eyes, Vincent immediately let her go, as if her skin burned his hands. "I'm sorr-" ,he tries to tell her, but Aileen quickly runned up the stairs and locked herself in the bathroom. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° The thing about psychopaths though, is that they're notorious for their lack of fear, but also their ability to mimick emotions in order to manipulate people into doing their bidding. And Aileen was doing just that. Warning: this book contains mental illness, violence, mentions of drug use (the first 3 chapters are sort of a prequel, the story picks up after that, but they are still very important)Complete
