Madness is waiting 😈

I did the cover myself, it's not perfect but i'm proud of it. Outline (and better view) under the cut.

⟢ "Something is wrong with me. Has been for a long time. I've gotten very good at hiding it in plain sight."

⟢ "You want to know what fear really is? Fear is realizing the monster was someone you ate dinner with every night."

⟢ "I know what darkness looks like from the inside. It doesn't look like anything. That's the point."

⟢ "There are rooms in me I don't go into. I sealed them up for good reason. Don't go looking for the doors."

⟢ "I've been smiling so long the muscles remember how even when nothing is funny."

⟢ "Something happened in that house. Nobody talks about what happened in that house. I talk about it now. I talk about it because silence is how it survives."

⟢ "The thing about real evil is it looks so normal. It sits across from you at breakfast and asks how you slept."

⟢ "I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm afraid of what I think about in it."

⟢ "You want the truth? The truth is ugly and small and doesn't make sense and that's exactly why it's true."

⟢ "I kept the secret so long it became part of me. Now I don't know where I end and it begins."

⟢ "Something broke in me a long time ago. I've just gotten very skilled at arranging the pieces so it doesn't show."

⟢ "The worst things don't happen in the dark. They happen at noon in kitchens and living rooms while everyone pretends."

⟢ "I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of all the years before it."

⟢ "There are things I remember that I've never said out loud. They live in me like something feral."

⟢ "I know what I'm capable of. That's the part I don't share at parties."

⟢ "You think you know what happened. You have the outline. Nobody has the inside."

⟢ "I've been haunted for so long the haunting feels like company."

⟢ "The thing nobody says about surviving is that sometimes survival looks a lot like damage."

⟢ "I don't sleep well. Haven't for years. The nights got too loud for too long and my brain never forgot."
