The Bully
Some monsters hide under the bed. Others walk the school hallways, hiding behind a smirk and a designer jacket. In the small town of Oakhaven, the cycle of torment isn't just a part of growing up—it's a blood oath. When a new student arrives, they quickly learn that the school’s most feared predator isn't human, but a shadow that feeds on fear, isolation, and the silence of the bystanders. Every bruise is a mark of the beast, and every whispered threat is a step closer to the edge. The Bully is a visceral dive into the psychology of power, the anatomy of cruelty, and the darkness that lives in the hearts of those we are taught to trust. You can run, you can hide, but the tormentor always knows your name.

Chapter 9 The Revelation
This was the end. The bus had stopped. The survivors—those who could still move—had already scrambled off. John watched them through blurry, blood-filled eyes. He wanted to go after them, to finish what he started, to scream the truth he believed. But his body wouldn't move. He was done. That last outburst—that final violent convulsion—had taken everything he had left. It was the addict's last surge of strength, the final desperate push to force the world to bend to the lie.

Chapter 8 Look What I Made You Do
It's nearly dark when John reaches the bus stop. The sun is gone, but the sky hasn't committed to night. The streetlights flicker on, slow and unsure. A breeze picks up, rustling trash and fallen receipts along the curb like warnings no one will read. John stands beneath the flickering light, swaying. He's sweating through his clothes, but his skin feels cold. His breath comes shallow and hollow. His limbs drag like they no longer belong to him. His eyes—tinged yellow—scan th

Chapter 7 Nothing Wrong With This Car
Nothing Wrong With This Car It's 6:00 p.m. John punches out and heads to his car. He's tired. Drained. But there's comfort ahead: the drive home, the sound of his stations, the voices that affirm everything he needs to believe. The fix. He slips into the driver's seat and turns the key. Nothing. No click. No sputter. No start. He tries again. Still nothing. He leans back against the door and exhales, lips tight. His head drops to the steering wheel. He tries again—harder

The Denial Bug Chapter 6 Withdrawal
Chapter 6 Withdrawal It's 8:00 A.M., and John arrives at work. He's a retail clerk at a department store, making just above minimum wage. He puts on his name badge and heads to the floor. It's quiet. Routine. But something feels off. By 10:00 a.m., John's mood begins to sour. He's short with customers. Dismissive with coworkers. He feels restless, irritable. He's coming down. He hasn't had his fix. On break, he slips into the break room and pulls out his phone. He opens a rad

Chapter 5 The Aftermath
Chapter 5 The Aftermath It was late at night. No one saw him. He moved her body to the car without hesitation. No panic. No pause. Just motion. He drove for miles, far from the apartment, the neighborhood, the memory of her. The only sound was the radio—tuned to a station that still broadcast my lie. Steady. Comforting. Familiar. He didn't think about her. Not once. When he found an abandoned building off a dark stretch of road, he pulled in, dragged her from the trunk

The Denial Bug Chapter 4 Taking Root
Taking Root It was on the ride home that John first felt something was wrong. They were barely a few blocks from the store when the topic came up again on the radio. This time, the facts were laid out plainly—undeniable, detailed, backed by evidence. Everything he once accepted without hesitation. But now... he felt it. A slight pressure behind his eyes. A dull ache at the base of his skull. A headache. At first, he ignored it. Then, without thinking, he changed the st

The Denial Bug Chapter 3 Doubt Enters
Chapter 3 Doubt Enters Inside, the store is buzzing—not with conversation, but with tension. You can feel it under the fluorescent lights. The occasional scream. The sharp crash of a shopping cart. A fight breaks out in aisle three. Violence is normal now. As he walks toward the dairy section, John sees a woman pick up a can of beans and hurl it at a man’s forehead. A clean, wet thunk. He drops instantly. Blood sprays across the tiles. The woman doesn’t flinch. She wipes her

The Denial Bug Chapter 2 The Quiet Before
John was talking with his girlfriend. She’s just gotten home from work. The conversation is light, careful—but beneath the surface, there’s always the same fear: that one of them may have been exposed. It’s a sensible precaution, since contact with people—to, from, and at work—are a ll sources of potential risk. Being apart, even for a day, you start to wonder—what if they heard something? Believed something? Slipped? It becomes a trust issue. A quiet paranoia betwe

The Denial Bug
Chapter 1: The Denial Bug The Turning Point How long can a society persist when truth is abandoned? Around the 2016 election, a noticeable rise in public lying by leaders marked a turning point. At first, these deceptions seemed like exceptions. Soon, however, they became routine, and the boundaries between truth and fiction blurred. Origins of Denial For many, lies became a shield—a way to sidestep realities that felt too hard to face. Falsehoods promised comfort, offering a
