The Permanence of Darkness

The Permanence of Darkness: A Novelette by Andoni Iapetus

In the suffocating confines of a psychiatric hospital, Sarah Wilde grapples with the weight of her past—a trail of destruction and the haunting figure of Michael, a man who may only exist in the fractured corridors of her mind. The Permanence of Darkness is a chilling and introspective journey into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the fragile boundaries between reality and delusion, love and obsession, light and shadow.

As Sarah seeks redemption, her struggles against the consuming darkness reflect a universal battle for control and meaning in the face of overwhelming guilt and trauma. But when confronted with the echoes of her actions and the flickering hope of salvation, will she find a way out, or will the darkness claim her once and for all?

This dark and gripping novelette by Andoni Iapetus, a retired United States Air Force veteran, masterfully weaves suspense, psychological depth, and emotional resonance into an unforgettable tale. For readers who appreciate stories of resilience and the complex interplay of light and shadow within the human soul, The Permanence of Darkness offers a harrowing yet hopeful experience.
