The Art of Dying

Through the eyes of Emmy Lou, you will feel the insurmountable pain that she endures when the love of her life flees from the bridge, falling towards his impending death. The second his body hits the surface of the ocean and disintegrates into the sand her life ceases to exist as she knows it. Every memory is tinted with a haze of blue. The death of her best friend causes her to spiral, landing her at a mental institution. Where she befriends the beings of Stella, Wynrie, Kaz, Theo, and Wes. Soon after her admission, she learns of each of their struggles from the rooftop where they long to be normal. Stella suffers from an eating disorder. Wynrie, a mind cluttered with OCD. Kaz, a boy angry at the world who reflects the epitome of depression. Theo, whose panic attack disorder stemmed from his addict parents. Wes, whose body is encapsulated by PTSD from a tragedy she has yet to learn of. Through five broken-apart souls, they mend every piece of Emmy's heart back together. But as she begins to feel whole again, the five who fixed her begin to lose their own battles. Can she save them before it's too late? Her brain begins to defrost, every memory and moment becomes more clear and as she watches the last of her friends die, she realizes - were they ever even alive?
