Elements Of Insanity Novels & Stories

I look down at my cappuccino, unable to take a drink. He grins with another low rumbling chuckle. “You’re a psychology student, right?” He asks and I nod as a reply. The guy seems to know everything about me. “Well isn’t it true if you were in effect suffering from some kind of schizophrenic break from reality then shouldn’t this all be something normal for you? A schizophrenic can’t distinguish hallucinations from reality but you seem able to recognize the abnormality of what's happening to you.

“No.” Jamie’s voice cracked. “Why are you doing this?” “Because,” Matteo said quietly, “Lucas believes you’re in a mental institution.” The words landed like a physical blow. Jamie staggered back. “What?” “You’ve been… unstable,” Matteo continued, his tone clinical now. “Paranoia. Insomnia. Emotional volatility. From Lucas’s perspective, it explains everything.” Jamie shook his head violently. “That’s a lie.” “It’s a narrative,” Matteo corrected. “One that keeps him calm. Safe.”

And, Dio mio, I don’t want her to fall into the same madness I’ve spent years drowning in. The world I live in, the world of the insane, isn’t for her. Not at all. It’s a realm of chaos, of madness and vanity, where sanity is lost in insanity. I’ve clawed my way to the top through the fractured minds and shattered thoughts that surround me. It’s suffocating. It’s a constant struggle because I have to maintain a grip on reality within the abyss of insanity. I don’t want that for her. But here she is, crumbling in front of me, pulling me to her like an invisible thread wrapped around my neck.

Checking Mary's condition, a doctor said as per instructed by Susan, "Mr. Robert, this is a critical stage, she is completely out of her mind, she is in a stage where she can kill herself or others, people with this kind of condition mustn't be allowed to stay in houses, because of her anyone can be injured at any moment." Susan cried, "you're right doctor, just some time back, she became violent and attacked my best friend" the doctor said, "they becomes too violent madam, it won't stop with a simple attack, as her condition is too dangerous, this happens only in the cases of people who consumes lot of halogens and other kind of drugs, they forgets the difference between reality and halluci

Eliza didn't say anything. Owen added, "In fact, all of us are more or less mentally ill. It's just that some people are well controlled, and some people are out of control." "Let's talk about Chester. There must be something wrong with his mental condition. He's suffering from paranoia and obsessive-compulsive disorder! And he has persecution delusion! His problem is much more serious than yours, it's true!" Eliza was amused by his words. Seeing her like this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Didn’t breathe for at least thirty seconds. Because the phrases highlighted weren’t just familiar — they were mine. Ripped from private pages, now sitting beneath bold underlines and comments like: > “Potential signs of erotomania.” “Suggests disconnection from reality.” “Obsession with alternate romantic fantasy.” “Contradictions in self-perception.” “Volatile internal world.” They used words like volatile and obsession, like I was a case study — not a woman bleeding silently into pages no one was supposed to see. Evelyn sat across from me. Waited.

“They go insane.” Nate blinks, slowly turning to look at me. I feel it already. That restless pull, that gnawing ache. The one that started the second I woke up. It’s still there, crawling beneath my skin like fire under glass. I don’t say anything. I don’t need to. Luca sees it on my face. “That insanity,” he continues, “is either going to drive them toward each other—because eventually, it’ll become unbearable—or…” He hesitates for a moment before he adds, “Or they’ll end up dead.”

Instead, he seemed a stranger, consumed by a madness that had taken hold of his senses. Shock and confusion mingled within me as I absorbed the scene unfolding before my eyes. The realization dawned upon me that Leon's mind had fractured, his grasp on reality slipping away into the abyss of insanity. The recent events, the accusations, the imprisonment—it was as if his mind had shattered under the weight of it all, leaving behind a distorted semblance of the person he once was.

He’d been down here slumming it for who knows how long, and now his sanity was being questioned. “Are you all crazy? Can’t you see... I mean, it’s obvious...” He didn’t want to say something that would make him look as insane as he felt. His eyes were darting around, looking for something. A face who would see reason? He returned his maddened gaze to Marv, leaning forward.

Shaking her head in disbelief, she looked and found the blood covering the floor, mixed with the coffee lying there. “Come here, I’ll treat the wound.” She assured her, giving her a stool to sit on. She sat there, not speaking. Her mind sank into the thoughts. She saw Gabriella look insane for him. This much insanity? She was unable to believe it. The man who insulted her, she was crazy after him. Why? Did he hypnotize her or what? How could someone be so crazy for someone? She had seen Eliseva’s madness till today only for the money. On seeing the money, she used to react as if some demon had taken shelter in her mind, and in the same way, she saw Gabriella today.
