Summary

1 Reviews | 87 pages | 4 years ago | Draft 1
Jonna is a slacker who hates her existence. She lives at home with her father who continuously nags her about her drinking problem. She can't stand her job due to all the disrespect she receives and her girlfriend is no better. She doesn't respect Jonna and she always leaves Jonna in last place. Jonna believes the world is out to get her and she doesn't know why. This leads her to inject herself with DMT.



She learned that if you take enough you can encounter inter-dimensional beings that will interact with you. Soon she experiences trips of the pleasuring kind until she meets The Worm. Soon after she gets attacked by her possessed father and has no choice but to kill him. She blames The Worm for what she had to do, but The Worm explains it isn't the culprit.



Jonna is informed that she is trapped in The Void; a place between reality and the trenches of the human mind. She doesn't know who to trust and she can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. She must find a way to fight through her demons and escape The Void before it consumes her forever.
