Disclaimer: It's my third "story," do I have to put this again?
Date: June 7th.
Location: Jefferson Institution, Manhattan, New York.
The Jefferson Institution- a renowned mental hospital known for curing the most intense cases of any mental disorder ever known. Home to the most intelligent doctors and the latest in medical technologies, it is every doctor's dream to go work there. The security is state of the art. Making sure it's prisone- I mean patients are locked up tight and won't endanger the public.
Last week, the Jefferson Institution acquired a new patient. His family admitted him to the institution last week, claiming that their son was "not right." According to the patient's family, their son just woke up one day and claimed to be another person. Based on examination, the doctor's at the Jefferson Institution deducted that their son had schizophrenia and to undergo treatment immediately.
The situation seemed to be normal, until two other mental institutions called in claiming similar cases. One of them was from an institution in California. The other one was from Texas. Both cases were transferred to the Jefferson Institution immediately.
But the oddest thing about these three patients was not that they all had schizophrenia, but they all knew each other, despite having never met. The specialists talked to each of their families, trying to find evidence that they had met before. None were found.
These are the files of these three patients.
Name: John Hopkins
Age: 17
Eye Color: Green.
Height: 6'0

Diagnosis: Schizophrenic; thinks that he is a guy named "Percy Jackson." He is also believed to be delusional. Examinations say that he often talks about things like the Greek gods and monsters, acts quite differently from himself. Very short tempered, but laid back. Seems to be a natural leader. He often asks where a lot of people are, one example of this is for an "Annabeth Chase."
Name: Samantha McAllister
Age: 18
Eye Color: Brown

Diagnosis: Schizophrenic; thinks that she is a girl named "Clarisse La Rue." She shows similar symptoms as John Wilkins. "Clarisse La Rue" can be described as prone to violence and arrogant, very proud and defensive. Does not seem to like "Percy Jackson." Doctors are advised to not anger "Clarisse La Rue."
Name: Benjamin Thomson
Age: 17
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'3
Description: Patient has short, curly brown hair, with notable elf-like ears. He is described as serious and apathetic. Classmates describe him as "creepy." Has a natural talent in developing plans and is a very fast runner.
Diagnosis: Schizophrenic; thinks that he is a guy named "Travis Stoll." He is constantly asking where another person is who goes by the name of "Connor Stoll." It is unknown whether this "Connor Stoll" exists. He shows the same symptoms as the other two patients. "Travis Stoll" can be described as very energetic and tricky. Has shown that he is very capable of stealing items. Doctors are advised to keep anything valuable away from him.
As examinations continue, we realized that these cases are more serious than we had initially thought. All three patients claim that they're demigods, more specifically Greek. They're parents are the Greek gods. "Percy Jackson" is the son of Poseidon, "Clarisse La Rue" is the daughter of Ares, and "Travis Stoll" is the son of Hermes."
Our doctors at the Jefferson Institute thought it would stop with those three, but apparently not. Over the course of one month, several new cases have developed from all over the United States. All of these cases were transferred to the Jefferson Institute.
The new cases show similar symptoms of the original three, they all claim to be different people and the children of gods (Greek and Roman). This disease does not seem to affect a specific type of person in any age range or race. Likewise, the patients seemed to know each other.
Doctors at the Jefferson Institute has coined a new term for this disease, error semideum.
To be honest, I have no idea where this story is going. I don't even have a solid plot yet, but if at least two people say that I should continue this, than I will.
