*********** I will not finish this book because I myself am schizophrenic and at first I thought writing this story could help me, buuuuut in a way it's just made my problems worse. I have DID, and PTSD. You can still read the story if you want but as a warning, I kind of left it at a cliff hanger by accident so I apologize in advance. ************ Leon, a girl stuck between dimensions, learning new conspiracies, religious confusion, beings she trusts or trusted, and being abused by both friends and families, how could things possibly get any worse?
