This story came about in the opposite of a sudden way. As a person with schizophrenia, my mind has been developing the characters mentioned in this novel for years- let's hope it terrifies you. Also understand this is meant to be overdramatic and is not at all an accurate representation of having schizophrenia.This is about Hobbes and his journey through the end of middle school, living in a new town, and making new friends. He is your average mentally ill preteen. All this changes when his friends are emerged in his schizophrenic mind. They are haunted by the things Hobbes experiences every day. The only difference is that once they are caught- it's fatal.
