Fragmented is a psychological horror told through the disintegrating journal entries of Maddie, a 17 year old girl institutionalized after years of emotional neglect and domestic abuse. But Maddie doesn't know she's in a psych ward, she thinks she's found a new "family," and she clings to this delusion with fragile desperation. As her grasp on reality deteriorates, her journal becomes a haunting record of confusion, time loops, and vanishing people she swears never existed. Her memories contradict, her thoughts repeat, and her entries slip into chaos as she rewrites reality to avoid the truth. She was abandoned. Fragmented is an unsettling exploration of trauma, repression, and the quiet horror of a mind trying to protect itself by destroying the truth. There's also unhealthy manipulation in the category of romance but it is not that.

Tales from Ravenhearst: Home, Sweet Home

The Maddie Show
These are the thoughts that replayed in my mind day and night, conversations with myself that kept me awake long into the dark hours, memories that clung to me like shadows, and moments from my twenties that have haunted me. This is my diary, a glimpse into the most vulnerable parts of life on full display. No longer hidden in the quiet corners of my mind and heart. Every feeling, every heartbreak, every truth - finally brought to light. Revealed in its purest form. It's oddly therapeutic - reopening old wounds, letting them breathe. Painful, but necessary. I wrote this to be free. To let go a part of my life that has consumed me emotionally and mentally for far too long. Maybe this is the closure I'll never get from Maddie but the one I can finally give myself. *No real names are used*Complete
