Novel & Cerita Tales Of Ordinary Madness Book

My sixth-sense was telling me that the thing inside the sack was my daughter. In that instant, I could feel my entire body fully synchronized with my brain as the adrenaline inside of me surged. I ran as fast as my body could take it. However, it seemed like they had anticipated this. When I almost caught the sack, two men appeared out of nowhere to pin me on the ground. It was useless no matter how I struggled or screamed. There were no security guards or cops on duty in this place. The passersby didn't know what was happening and all chose to stand and watch.

That was the book I looked at when I first went here, before I met them. "This is the book that can show you how to cure his illness. But this is the most dangerous one. It's always been in the hands of Madam Olga, but I think it's really for you to see since it showed itself to you in the library. You can read it and know it for yourself, but make sure not to be overwhelmed by the content of this book. It has dark magic, and something who doesn't have a collected mind will lose herself in the process." Now I know why they are scared about it. Dark magic isn't something we can play around. I need to be serious about this.

Which is to say, it has zero symmetry, no obvious organizational system, and an impressive number of random objects that shouldn’t belong together but somehow do. I pick up a book from the coffee table. It’s an architecture book. Of course. Underneath it? A Morbius comic. I squint. A man in his thirties, with a degree, a career, and an allegedly functional brain, is out here stacking academic texts on top of Marvel comics like that makes sense. I roll my eyes and toss the book back. But it gets worse. The bookshelf is a mystery zone. One side looks normal—novels, reference books, the standard intellectual nonsense. But then, shoved into the mix like some kind of psychological experiment, is:

But, that was not the reason I was here. I turned back to the chairs and settled into one. I placed my books by my side before picking up the third one. It was a comprehensive text on manic depression. Mister Ivan had not had any episodes in a few days and I was thankful for that. Still, I needed to be as informed as I could be. I did not know how long my eyes were buried in the book, but I know that the creaking sound of the door as it opened, caused me to raise my head. I narrowed my eyes to the door and watched as a tall shadow emerged from the light.

My secretary, Francine, would always jostle my elbow to drag me out from my reverie when it was already my turn to speak in front of our board of directors. It was like my mind had always been somewhere only God knew, that no better ideas came out of it. I was always absent-minded as if I was always imagining things. I couldn’t go with my previous daily routine as I couldn’t even have barely three hours of sleep. If I ever had a chance to, I would have always been bothered by that dream. No, it was an effing nightmare.

Ghost growls. I grit my teeth, shoving him back. I had done this to myself anyway, I had followed them to Adrian’s house to assure myself he won’t touch her, I had stood on her balcony like a fool. A damn obsessed fool who could not stay away. Maybe she is right to think I am a psychopath. Enough is enough. It ends now. The door creaks open, and Madam Lisa steps inside with a big stack of thick books that look like they belong in a museum. The covers are dark, cracked with age.

No firestorms, no crumbling sky, no beasts clawing their way out of shadows. Just life. Ordinary, uncomplicated life. And for once, ordinary didn’t terrify me. I lifted the notebook in my hands, thumb brushing over its worn spine. It was the same one I’d used during the interview months ago—the same one the cameras had caught a million times, the same one news articles called The Source of His Genius. If they only knew. The pages were full of everything I had lived through, worded and reworded, stitched into something that looked like fiction but was anything but.

He was mocking her in her dreams. She shuddered and picked up a book from Maribelle's shelf. It was a fantasy, a time when creatures of all kinds lived together in harmony. They band together to fight an evil force in the world and bring about peace. Peace between all of the creatures of the earth. It was a novel idea, an idea that plagued Olivia's dreams. If only she lived in a world where the creatures of the earth lived in peace and harmony. Maybe then, she would not have been at the mercy of Simon.

TYSON I leave the bedroom and see Maddie sitting at the island, reading a book with a glass of orange juice in front of her. It doesn’t look like she has taken even a sip of her juice, her eyes are huge and wide, completely focused on her book. Just as I get to her, she lets out an audible, “Nooooooo!” “Are you okay, Mads?” “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe the author killed off the King! Why would he do that? Now, the vampires will overrun the castle.” Her eyes are still wide and unfocused on her surroundings, she’s completely enthralled in her supernatural fiction.

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. So essentially that you think you’re insane proves that you are indeed not insane.”
