TRIGGER WARNING(S)

I. LITERARY / PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT TRIGGER DISCLOSURE:
Unhinged is written with literary, psychological, and psychodynamic depth in mind. It explores trauma, repression, projection, defense mechanisms, and personality pathology. The narrative is intentionally structured to mirror Heather's psychological experience—dissociation, vulnerability, and moral complexity—alongside Hugo's manipulative and psychopathic tendencies. Expect detailed psychological and archetypal mappings, Jungian shadow and anima/animus dynamics, and narrative architecture as emotion.

II. EDITORIAL / ACADEMIC TRIGGER DISCLOSURE:
Editorial Content Statement / Academic Context:
The narrative engages with psychological realism and psychodynamic themes, particularly the manifestations of trauma, repression, projection, and moral ambivalence in human relationships.
Sensitive material includes:
– Depictions of psychological and emotional abuse
– References to s****l coercion and relational trauma
– Clinical discussions of psychopathy and narcissistic pathology
– Portrayals of dissociation, trauma response, and moral injury
These elements are used not for sensationalism but to examine the blurred boundaries between victim and perpetrator, trauma and survival, attachment and control.
The work positions itself at the intersection of literary fiction and psychological horror, employing narrative introspection and psychodynamic mirroring as tools of character analysis. It is a text about the mechanics of trauma, not its aesthetics.

III. UNAPOLOGETIC TRIGGER WARNING!
My stories are DRAMATICALLY (from the root word DRAMA, which typically shows a narrative that engages readers' deep emotions, inducing a roller coaster ride of significant tension, highs, and lows) twisted and dark (mostly morally grey; some are pitched black).
You've been warned. So, please, don't dare make comments in my stories (esp. THIS STORY) about why there's less romance and more drama in my books. Read and comprehend. Dark stories don't always mean sunshine and roses—IT NEVER DOES, NEVER WILL; IT MEANS REALITY, AND REALITY HURTS US, SCARES US, TO THE POINT WE DON'T WANT TO FACE IT.
If you are the kind of reader who lives in a fantasy full of "kilig" and expects butterflies in your stomach every single second, DON'T EVEN TRY TO READ MY STORIES (esp. THIS STORY); They are emotionally intense, psychologically disturbing, and may trigger severe reactions.

IV. DETAILED TRIGGER WARNING!
UNHINGED is a very, very dark Psychological Thriller-horror / Romance / Literary Psychodrama story. I wrote this during a period of severe depression. I was inspired to write about taboo topics to raise awareness, especially regarding Antisocial Personality Disorder.
This is the darkest, most dragging story I've written. I even reached a point where I couldn't sleep at night.
The main characters, especially the male lead, are morally black. He is not a bad guy turned hero. He is the villain. He kills people, is a sociopath/psychopath with a score of 40 on the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (you can check this online). Do not expect redeeming qualities in him.
Unhinged contains:
• Stalking
• Dubious consent
• Somnophilia
• Pedophilia
• Drugging
• Rape
• Kidnapping
• s*x trafficking
• Murder of humans and family members
• Death of loved ones
• Death of a child (not detailed)
• Narcissistic abuse
• Severe depression
• Severe anxiety
• Suicidal thoughts
• Solo Polyamory (Solo Poly) is a relational orientation where individuals sustain multiple meaningful relationships while emphasizing autonomy and rejecting hierarchical partner structures
• Kinks such as knife play, blood play, b**m, breeding, primal, choking
• CNC (Consensual Non-Consent) refers to pre-negotiated roleplay between consenting adults. It is distinct from actual non-consensual acts depicted elsewhere in the story
• Most of all, Stockholm syndrome/Trauma bond, narrated in full detail
I did my best to handle these sensitive topics in a way that illustrates and distinguishes between s*x*al abuse and non-s*x*al abuse. If you continue past this page, prepare yourself mentally and emotionally.
Don't read if you are stressed. Take care of your safety and well-being. MENTAL HEALTH IS TRUE WEALTH.
