This is a journal-like story about a young man named Oliver Wright in New York City beginning in 1988. The story contains graphic depictions of violence, drug abuse, swearing, hallucinations, and probably inaccurate representations of mental illnesses or love. Our protagonist attempts to carry on with his misdeeds while trying to mask himself to keep up appearances. This, however, tends to be spoiled due to the fact that he works as both a newspaper editor and a detective. He explores who he is and figures out things about himself.All Rights Reserved

"Have you ever heard of nyctophilia?" I slowly shook my head no as my bottom lip quivered. He stopped to look at me, and smiled that breathtaking smile of his before he went back to walking. "Well, Nyctophilia is the word used to describe the love of darkness or night" He paused again but this time stopped right in front of me. I kept my head down as my heart pounded out of my chest. "A nyctophile would be the term used to describe someone with nyctophilia." He then brought his hand to my chin and tilted my head up so I was looking him in his eyes. Those beautiful golden eyes. "You, my darling, are a nyctophile." He smirked then added, "And I am the darkness you find comfort in." ⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓ Celeste Banks was as sweet as candy and as pure as cotton.

With the promise of meeting the person he cares for the most, can Oliver help save the world? A world full of what was once thought of as impossible. Trigger Warning: Death Gore Mature language Child abuse Mental abuse Suicide Torture (Think of this work as a rough draft for the real deal. I'm not up to par, but practice makes perfect. So does criticism.) (Double asterisk will be posted by the chapter for sure completion. But not truly 100% completion. Just means I'll never touch it again for now.) (On Haitus. Working on the kinks. Will be back on April 5th) (April 5th: I'm back. Should be getting some revamped looks on chapters 0-4 and the addition of twenty new chapters.)
