"There were times when I'd run, people would pass me, and I would try so hard to pass someone—just someone—but I couldn't no matter how hard I ran; I couldn't beat my opponents. This, it's not a competition, it's not a game, yet I want to surpass something, I want to feel like I actually can win in the end."
The world is a lonesome place, at least the world seen by Jared Harrison, a teen who can't seem to figure out the void that is missing within his life. He does what he has to do, he has friends to talk to, he has a family that can be there for him if he reached out—but he always feels as though something is missing.
After a long night of feeling isolated, Jared makes a decision that he's never made before, a decision that he sees as the only way that he can truly escape: he's running away.
Will this choice lead Jared to find what he's been yearning for? Or will his time be wasted, unable to delve beneath the surface? No matter what occurs, however, he will try his hardest to seek what he has lacked.

Lucas is a boy trapped in his own thoughts, trapped in a world of loneliness. His ADHD makes it hard to concentrate, and his creative mind offers him only a temporary escape. At school, he is the target of bullies. At home, no one seems to really see him. Even his psychologist-who is paid to help-doesn't seem to understand the depth of his pain. But there is more to Lucas than anyone suspects. What begins as small acts of rebellion-lying, stealing-slowly evolves into something much darker. His anger and loneliness take on increasingly grotesque forms. He has no way out, except the destructive power he discovers within himself. Each time he strikes, he leaves a message behind: "Alone." A word the world doesn't understand until it's too late. As the line between art and horror blurs, Lucas loses his grip on reality. His masterpieces become violent, gruesome, and irreversible. Eventually, there is only one way left. But can he escape the echo of his own despair, or will loneliness swallow him up forever?Complete
