Shattered Sanity Novels & Stories

AMIDST THIS DIMLY lit chamber, a once-vibrant soul now teetered on the precipice of madness. Eyes were once filled with life and hope and had turned into hollow windows of a fractured mind.

Henry*** The world shatters around me, a cacophony of destruction that echoes through my bones. Everything I’ve ever known is crumbling, slipping through my fingers like sand, and the storm inside me rages with an intensity I can’t control. I am its eye, the center of this chaos, and yet I am powerless to stop it. The darkness surrounds me, pulls at my insides, and all I can do is endure its cold, suffocating grip. The man I was… I can barely remember him. Only fragments remain, scattered like broken glass, and the creature I’ve become is all that’s left.

The whispers swirl around me, wrapping themselves in the folds of my cloak, burrowing into the strands of my hair. “You will lose them all.” “You are already alone.” “You will never be enough.” I press my forehead to the cold glass and squeeze my eyes shut. I can feel my sanity slipping through my fingers like sand. I cannot hold onto it anymore. I can’t hold onto anything. Not hope or strength or even the people I love.

He might be a forensic doctor, but he hung out with police officers all year round and picked up some moves from them.

"You hate me that much? In our last life, we were married. And now, even getting near you scares you?" He gave a bitter smile and smashed the vial on the floor. "Don't worry. I've done enough wrong. I won't hurt you again. I just came to see you and talk to you." Lillian lowered the speaker, but her voice remained cold. "There's nothing to say." Elton opened his mouth, but a voice crackled through the studio's speakers. Tanya yelled, "Useless! I knew you'd fail. Fine! If you don't hurt her, you can both die!"

Elena I always wondered what it felt like to lose your mind. I imagined it was chaos—screaming, sobbing, clawing at the walls of your sanity. But I was wrong. Losing your mind is quiet. It’s subtle. It’s when you sip your coffee and realize you’ve gone numb to the taste. It’s when you stare into a mirror and can’t recognize the woman blinking back.
