Determined to make the most of his last moments of clarity, he sets out to mend broken relationships, seek closure, and hold onto the people he loves—his sister Amara, his best friend Jide, and his ex-girlfriend Ada. But how do you say goodbye when you’re still here? How do you prepare for a descent you can’t escape? Told through multiple perspectives, *Between Sanity and Shadows* is a haunting, deeply emotional tale of love, loss, and the terrifying fragility of the mind. As Leon drifts further into the abyss, those around him are left to wonder—will anything of him remain when the darkness finally takes over?

Chapter 1

How do you measure the moments before you lose yourself? Is it in the whispers that creep through the silence, or in the way your reflection stops obeying? Leon always thought madness was something distant - an affliction that happened to other people. Until he realized it was happening to him.

With only fragments of sanity left, Leon embarks on a desperate attempt to make peace with his past, to hold on to the people he loves before he slips away. His sister, Amara, watches in helpless horror as her brother fades before her eyes. His best friend, Jide, clings to denial, while his ex-girlfriend, Ada, finds herself tangled in a final, haunting conversation.

But the mind is a fragile thing, and time is running out.

Leon knows that soon, he won't be himself anymore. The only question left is - when he finally falls, will there be anything left of the man he used to be?
