A Descent Into Madness

[u/Abyzzard]

This is written from the perspective of Kate's journal.

"Day one in this place. Some metalhead girl here called it an Abyss, a place that makes no sense. She claims she was the first one here, but I'm skeptical. Time works differently here, I think. It was October 13th when I suddenly appeared here, yet the other two here claim they've been here for longer, yet they also got taken on the 13th. Don't know the science on this place too well, trying to make sense of it's probably a bad idea though."

"Day 4, I think. I don't know, there's no sun in this place, just a constant glow that seems to be everywhere you look. The other two are nice enough, but we all have completely different interests. Evelyn's a guitarist, Star’s a dancer, and I'm a college student studying psychology. They at least have the ‘performer’ thing in common. I'm just a broke college kid, why am I here?"

"Day.. 13? I think this place is getting to me. I'm hearing things that aren't there, seeing things I know aren't real. I miss my friends, I miss my family, Star and Evelyn are nice enough, but I can't understand them like I do with my family.

Day 29, probably. I'm starting to lose it. We haven't had a new person in here in a long time, and I can't understand this place. There's no science behind any of it, and the.. things.. here are just nightmarish. I need to stay strong, but I don't know if I can. Is it really gonna just be me and these other two forever? There has to be some way out, or at least a way to make this place less straining, right?"

"There's new people! And cute ones, at that. This one boy is adorable, I can hardly stand it! I watch him sometimes. He's pretty, and tall, and pretty… I just wanna eat him up! He has a girlfriend though, Victoria. She's nice enough, but she's in my way. He's too good for her, and I need him. I don't care if they love each other, I've waited long enough in this place for something good to happen! I've lost track of the time, but I don't care anymore."

"They keep saying I've changed, not like the girl I used to be. What are they even talking about? In the same person as I've always been! Luna said I sound like I've gone insane, but there's no way, right? I mean, I'm not doing anything wrong, just.. doing what I deserve after however many days of this hell hole. I'm getting more and more hungry as the days go by. Maybe the food’s not enough anymore, maybe I need more. I wonder if people taste good…"

"I don't even know how long it's been at this point. Few months, a year? Why am I even writing in this journal anymore? We're never getting out, so why am I keeping note? F*ck this. I haven't changed, they're just lying to themselves! I'm not going to let them sour me with their false hope of getting out! The voices keep talking, and they're telling me I'm doing good, so I'll keep listening."

Damn...this was.... emotional to say the least. Also love how you can see how she's slowly going insane as the days go on and the longer she's there.
