Morrtiis has always been known for her unstable behavior, and hallucinations. Her abnormal behavior gets in the way of making friends. Dare to travel with Morrtiis through her journey to complete utter insanity...? ⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵ ---TEASER--- I awoke to a starless sky, empty, empty like my soul, "The stars are hiding," I sighed. I swear I had died, but I'm still alive, "Am I alive..." I thought to myself while laying on the brown dirt as if it were my bed, my submission to the dreamlike reality. The tombstones crowded me; death had transformed me, had been the only thing to comfort me in the past couple days to know I am alive, that I'm real, I had died with them. My feelings my visions and emotions like a snowstorm inside me, had fogged my whole being with fright. But now, thanks to Veronica, I had a clear view over what I have become. The earth shivered as I walked through the dark serenity,, the grass padding my dragged steps toward I don't know where. My black formal dress dragged behind me like a shadow. I felt nothing; I wasn't breathing, no pulse. I step on glass, no blood, no pain, no tears... No fears... nothing to worry about except what to do next, and I already knew that. I am nothing, Yet I am standing, I am dead, Yet I am something... Of all who this could happen to, and it's me. It is me. The death-bringer. I am in control. I crave the blood, Their helpless expression of a fate they are aware that I control The pain, The tears, Everything that I can't have now. I am dammed and never to die. I know my purpose is to make people feel what I can not.

these are all the thoughts in my head- uncensored, unstructured, and exactly as they flow out. this is a technique called free writing. which is why I call this free speech this is basically my diary. (this is the way I think I guess) it's cathartic, which is why I do it. I have good days and bad days but it helps more on the bad days. these are written randomly, whenever I feel like it, whenever I have too many thoughts and emotions and I'm overflowing (so it's kinda over dramatic) my mind (like everybody else's) is confusing, what can I say -alright I'm out-

"Why do you never smile?" "Because I'm not like you. I'm not important enough to be happy." ~ ~ ~ Gabriel Lancaster has never smiled. He has never grinned, never laughed. He goes through life as the world's biggest pessimistic optimist. If anyone else feels down, he does all that he can to cheer them up. But he's never once helped himself. This bothers Cassidy Evans. Gabriel has helped her out many times, and she's only been able to repay him once. All she wants is to see him happy. But she can never seem to break through his walls and get him to smile or be happy. Gabriel always wonders why Cassidy even cares. No one else does. But what he doesn't know is that Cassidy has a reason for what she does, and part of it involves her best friend's dead brother, Zach. One night, Cassidy devises a plan for Gabriel. One clicker, clicked only when thinking happy thoughts or doing something that makes him happy. Company, so he knows that he isn't walking this world alone. Cassidy's ultimate goal: prove to Gabriel that he is worth something in this world.

Anna Arlington and Ethan Hawkes. Two people whose names shouldn't even be put in a sentence together. Completely polar opposites what with her being the school's most unpleasant bad girl and him the popular football jock who everyone wants to be seen with. Things escalate pretty quickly when their worlds collide with one another a day after his infamous 18th birthday party, but not in the way you would imagine. With Anna being thrown into a dark place of her past and Ethan dealing with unimaginable problems he thought were gone now, follow them on their journey of self-discovery, acceptance and maybe...just maybe...love.

A glimpse into the minds of those who suffer from trauma, anxiety and seclusion. It is very important to me that awareness about mental health is spread, thus the reason for this short story. A battle against all the negative aspects of your mind is sometimes the most difficult battle to overcome, and not many people are aware of that. I hope this story sheds some light on what trauma, anxiety that can lead to depression can do to people, and at the end, how to move past the worst.
