For Theodore 'Teddy' Smith, his life is an illusion. Trauma from his past makes him realize that trust is no longer a virtue and safety and love are like a mirage, merely an illusion. He lives in constant fear of his surroundings, paranoid of the slightest movements. Is he destined to live out his life like this, trapped in his own personal hell? Can he be saved from his demons that plague him? Can his illusion turn into reality? Warning: the prologue is graphic and inappropriate for young readers. Read at your own risk. This story will feature a relationship between two guys. I REPEAT: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO GUYS. If you don't like, then don't read. Hate will not be tolerated. You have been warned.
