Walter is just an average middle-class American in the 1870s. This all changes when he is instituted into Robertson State Penitentiary, on the account of wild mood swings and anxiety problems?
(This story is based off of the asylums in the late 1800s, before many of the revolutionary changes in penitentiary and asylums occurred. This story is entirely fictional and is not meant to represent a specific persons life, or a specific place. It is merely my speculation and idea of what it would be like in one. This is also one of my first stories I've ever posted, so criticism is much appreciated! Although keep the criticism respectful, and constructive.)

I'll Find You... I Promise
Janus Owens would do absolutely anything in his power for his little brother Virgil. The chances of a sixteen-year-old getting adopted weren't very large, when you throw in Janus's medical history, and the fact that he and Virgil are pretty much a package deal, the chances came down to pretty much zero. Virgil however... Sweet, kind, nine-year-old Virgil didn't suffer from any visible health issues (not like Janus who was all but covered in burn scars). Now he still had a chance. And the agency was more than aware of that. So when a great opportunity comes along that might just end with at least one of the Owen's brothers finding a home Janus is presented with their 'wonderful' and 'brilliant' decision that would in the end 'be better for everyone'. Virgil and Janus would be separated. Virgil would go on to be fostered by a family who was looking to adopt and Janus would remain in foster care until he too found a family (unlikely) or until he aged out. And after being presented with all of the information, and being assured he'd still be able to visit him he agreed. Oh what a mistake that turned out to be.

-I am not good at giving descriptions but please give my story a chance- "He was the calm and she was the storm." They always say, loving someone would turn your life upside down in a good way but I believed that it's the opposite of good, and guess what? I was right. Love was always out of my mind. I drink, eat, and breathe my work I'm the definition of work alcoholic it's the truth. Then one day when I entered this case I knew that it will let me get where I want but for the first time in my life I was wrong. I failed! Not in my work, I failed in my life and I think I deserve it. My dad always tried gaining control over me and I hated it. One day I became sick of my dad's controllers over me so I decided that no one other than me would be in control of my life. Since that day I took the remote control of my life, emotions, tears, future, work, and anything that would pop out in my mind. If you wonder what happens if I wasn't in control the answer is I don't know or let me say I didn't know! Till one day I lost the remote control and it ended up pretty bad! I don't fear love, I fear the idea of someone else having control over my heart & feelings because you never know if the person will cherish you and never break you, or maybe it's only me. I don't trust people it's a survival instinct. And me being a controlling freak over everything doesn't make it any better for me! Love is like a drug, when you have it you feel at the highest place in your life but when you lose it you'll feel miserable, that's what I learned from my story of love. If I lost Serkan I know that I'll break apart and never be the same because I love him so deeply, he's engraved in my heart. And like that when I married Serkan it was like signing a deal with the devil himself. The name of the story has a deep meaning you come to know in the story. ** The story is under editing **Complete

Insane
Welcome to Victorian England. Virgil Blair, Patton Moore, Janus Griffis, Roman Presscot, Remus Presscot and Logan Roberts are all patients admitted to Sanders Lunatic Asylum. ----------------------- A shiver runs down my spine as I look up at the building, a firm grip on my wrist as a nurse walks towards me. "Mr Blair?" she asks my mother while motioning to me. "Yes. Thank you." My mother replies. I start to stumble backwards towards the carrige I just got out from when I notice two hands on either of my arms. I feel my body moving closer to the building as it's darkness englufs me.Complete
M.I.A.
He woke up in a hospital, doesn't know why he's there, doesn't know who he is, doesn't even know how he got there, and he's got a real bad headache. He's got a head wound the size of a baseball, he can't see with his right eye, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get a straight answer for anything, except that mineshaft workers found him crystalized and immediately flew him to the 'hospital.' Nobody could figure out how long he was in the crystal, and the only thing he could remember was his name. I really hope you enjoy! Like my previous books, I haven't gotten a cover for it but I'm working on it:)
The end || ANGST STORY (+ Hazbin Hotel fanfic)
if you're not good with PTSD or dark topics such as death/su*cide and addiction you shouldn't read this. Sorry for the sudden change in my writing style. Also this takes place in Hazbin Hotel character Angel Dust's past life, so no hell bullshit to worry about, and the begining chapters are probably going to be some backstory though so heads up for that. There may be spelling errors or punctuation errors by the way (I am dyslexic so💀) *New York accent is on purposeComplete
