Synopsis
Not all things that
glitter are made of gold.
My name is Paul
Kian McKinnon. I grew up upper class, wealthy parents who had successful jobs,
the best education money could buy, friends in all the most popular circles,
and of course ideal grades. My good fortune spilled over into my adult life. To
most people my life is what you would call privileged. At first glance you
would think I have everything together, healthy bank account, beautiful house,
good job, and great friends. Everything is perfect, until… The door to the
outside world closes.
At home everything
falls apart. In this place I am at my most vulnerable. Every night I try
silence my inner demons in a sea of sleeping pills and alcohol, but sometimes
that isn’t enough. Sometimes it gets to be too much and I need to do more than
simply just dull the anxiety, pain, and the all-encompassing numbness. Yes, I
know it’s not healthy, but it’s all I have… Well that and my brothers, the
Misfits as we are called.
We were all brought
together thanks to the kindness of Jethro-Elijah Shepard. Through his
compassionate heart and stern beliefs we’ve grown up together into strong,
loyal, friends. We’ve celebrated each other’s wins, as well as comforting each
other in our loses. Those men have been more of a family to me than my own
flesh and blood, and yet I still can’t bring myself to share the darkest parts
of me. They won’t understand, they see me just as the rest of the world does…
Perfect.
What would happen
if I dropped the mask and let it splinter like the pieces of my broken soul?
Would they save me?
The better question
is… Do I want to save myself, or do I just want to fade away in the abyss of
pain and suffering?
Am I ready to peel
away the beautiful covering and let them look at the ugliness underneath?
In order to find
out you’ll have to read my story and trust me when I say… it won’t be for the
faint of heart.
