Note from author

I'm nowhere near done as of this writing, just hyping myself up by uploading some finished chapters so changes are expected. Anyways, the genre tags are enough indication this will be for a more mature audience, but I'm quite confident this is not 18+ territory. Or you can DQ me idk anymore x.x

The site restrictions for the psychological horror prompt are very, very hard to follow given my ability so, BE WARNED! There is a somewhat censored depiction of drug use (this is a core theme), some blood and gore maybe..?

With that said, thanks for dropping by! Any comments and/or corrections are very much welcome!
