In the depths of her own mind, she was a stranger. A person she couldn't recognize, couldn't understand, and couldn't control. The lines between reality and madness blurred, and the reflection in the mirror showed a face that was both familiar and foreign.
Dr. Emma Taylor, a renowned psychologist, had always been fascinated by the human mind. She had spent years studying the intricacies of human behavior, but nothing could have prepared her for the darkness that lurked within her own psyche. As she navigated the complex web of her own thoughts and emotions, she began to realize that she was not alone in her mind. A stranger had taken residence, whispering sinister thoughts and manipulating her actions.
As Emma's grip on reality falters, she must confront the stranger within. Is she losing her mind, or is the stranger a manifestation of a deeper truth? With each passing day, the stranger grows stronger, and Emma's sense of identity begins to unravel. She is forced to question everything she thought she knew about herself and the world around her.
Will Emma be able to reclaim her mind and her life, or will the stranger consume her entirely?

Emma: Seventh Grade
As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."Complete
