Have you ever felt the blade of a knife against your skin? Have you ever felt it drag slowly, watched the skin slice open beneath your eyes? Have you watched the crimson gleam and shatter on cold floor? Have you ever seen a person in pain, seen them scream, seen them wither away beneath you? Have you ever watched as their life was whittled away into nothing? Have you ever witnessed a death? Scott West suffers; suffers every day of his life. The only person he has left is Kayde Greyson. His best friend, his lifeline. Even then, it's hard to hang onto the person you love most when you think you have a disease. A disease that doesn't show on the outside, but is deadly, especially when the rest of society loathes your very existence due to it. Scott West is queer. Different. In his mind and the monsters that torture him day after day; contaminated. Desperately Kayde is trying to change his mind, before he forever loses the person he loves, even teaming up with the hotheaded art student Rafe Sanders whom Scott West has intrigued greatly. It's a battle, not only for Scott's heart, but for his life.
