Living in a magic world where anything is possible, a group of teens are subjected to the horrors of their world, and each other. Each with their own past, the teens learn of each others and find they are all more alike than they know. The world they live in is very different than it once was, especially after The War that took place over one hundred years ago.
One day, you could be walking, and past by an amazing city. But just a few miles away, there could be a very poor village. Money, Power, and Magic run this world. Those who are being controlled without even realizing it, the stupid, the 'strong willed'. Those who fear danger secretly, but press on, stay out of others' business, the quiet ones, the loners, the smart ones- The Psychotic ones. They all co-exist in this world, along with all the Demons, Giants, Dragons, and all other forms of life that linger in the shadows, the forests, plains, mountains, and right next door. The people in this story were not born insane. They were made that way, by such a world, by such people.
Facing such a world alone is suicide. Though we don't always admit it, having just one friend could mean the difference of either giving into darkness, or facing it.
Castle Rock. A formidable laboratory housing monsters, unwilling subjects and other supernatural entities stationed deep beneath the ice of a tundra in an unknown region of a fragmented world.
The place of nightmares that very few know of, the place of cruel and inhumane tests conducted on the innocent.
Castle Rock at [DATA EXPUNGED], has experienced a site-wide destabilization due to the intense polar storm that currently is decimating the tundra. These storms are known to be dangerous for a plethora of reasons throughout the world. The Facility and all of it's holding cells & security stations deactivated and disabled due to the storm. Releasing everything without supervision. Hence, this phenomenon being called "Destabilization".
Now, Monsters and deviants alike set free to roam.
Some take matters into their own hands to escape. (Y/N) is a subject within the bowels of the facility, among the few who have the will to survive. Though, with little knowledge of their own past and current situation, (Y/N) finds some friends along the way. All hoping to find an escape.
This story is a little gay, just a little.
