Not A Fantasy

Sixteen-year-old Nick witnessed his classmate's death. He was murdered and eaten by this man who claims to be "Santa". But when he tried to tell what he saw, they didn't believe him. His story sounds too strange, too irrational. His parents, desperate to protect him, suspected he's the killer. They took him to an expert, who diagnosed him with a persecutory delusion - a mental illness where a person believes someone is trying to harm them.

But Nick knows the truth. He knows the real killer is someone they would never suspect - a seemingly harmless old man who calls himself "Santa." Convinced Nick was a danger, his parents tried to escape back to the Philippines. Heartbroken by their disbelief, Nick left. His parents were unaware that the real killer had kidnapped him.

He soon discovered he was not the only victim. Santa had been abducting children for years, keeping them captive in his dilapidated house-a twisted world of toys, religion, and unspeakable violence. This was Santa's horrifying game, and Nick must escape before he becomes another forgotten toy.
