Unedited Summary: What happens when those we love write us off as crazy? The Titans knew a girl, a girl who spent her life in the shadow of others. They said the outside world was too much for her, that having to make moral decisions literally made her go crazy. Even Terra, her sister, was forced to accept the girl's fate. Yet in the darkness even crazies catch glimpses of light.
Disclaimer: I do not own teen titans or the teen titan's characters. The only character in this story I own is Max Steeler.
Explanation: This is a sequel to "The Untold Story of Max Steeler." This story is told from Max's perspective, which is not exactly stable. Hope you enjoy!
Prologue:
They said I'd never recover, deemed my case hopeless and move on. They gave up on Terra, too. Terra must have felt like this, trapped in a stone prison, unable to talk, unable to move. The difference is my prison is flesh, trapped within my own mind. Is it my mind? I think therefore I am. I think but the Titans don't believe I am. The Titans don't acknowledge my existence. Still. I think, but am I? I do not run and play in the fields with Mark. The fields do not exist. No fields, therefore I am not dead. If death is not the darkness that swallowed me, then I must exist. Unless death is nothingness with glimpses of somethings. What does it mean to exist but not live? I remember a day when darkness swallowed me. The day I ceased to live. I still breathe. I still think. I still exist, but I do not live.
