Rest In Chaos

By Anthony Harb

Rest in Chaos is a book of experiences, based on real events that have happened in my life, but written in a metaphorical way to disguise who each story is about. The book speaks of all the ups and downs, the battles against depression, love, bullying, loss, and family. This book was written as an escape, to let my mind be at ease, and as a gateway to a life without depression.

Introducing the First Love

I Ever Had

A normal person usually has five senses: touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell. Each one is significant to them because they play a big role in their lives, whether they remind them of old memories or help them grasp new experiences. But that’s only if you’re normal. A psychopath has the same five senses, except they usually mean nothing to them. If you have ever stared into a dark, deep, empty hole, then you probably understand what it was like making eye contact with my ex-girlfriend. She’d occasionally zone out into a different universe, like her soul left her body and kept the corpse on the couch as it went out on an adventure. These adventures always consisted of murder though. She was the type of person to strangle her cat with her bare hands for meowing too much, and then hold a funeral for it in her backyard. The cerebrum of the brain is split in half, the left and right hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing. The right hemisphere controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills. The problem with her is that at times, the cerebrum of her brain had no left hemisphere. She’d enter a land of creativity but for the wrong purposes. Her cerebellum, which coordinates muscle movements, would shut down. She’d
