Abnormal Side Effects

by Cherisse Scott

Overview

Suicide, depression, anxiety, bullying, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and more. These are all the abnormal side effects of life. We have warning labels on just about anything nowadays. Almost...but life.

"Abnormal Side Effects" is an anthology written by Robert J. S. T. McCartney. Society prefers to drown out many of these as a lesser matter of concern. Instead, they push the lives of celebrities in our faces, promote unhealthy habits, demoralize and desensitize us. Some people encourage others that are in need of help and are suicidal, that "they should just kill themselves," and more absurdities.

Many of the following stories take into account depression, family issues, trauma, bullying, and other subjects that go on every day in our lives. While these matters may be taboo to people on the street, society typically turns a blind eye, and even goes so far as to further shame and shun those that break from the definition of what we regard as normal.

Each tale offers a unique vision to the reader. You will explore just an inkling of the many side effects one experiences in life. Something that so many people do, on a daily basis. Through the highs and the lows; some tellings may be more disturbing than others, but rest assured, this is just a clinical study. There are no consequences of your actions here.

Now…it’s time to take a dose of reality.

WARNING: Life is real.

About the Author

Robert J. S. T. McCartney is an author and the founder of A.B.Normal Publishing and Media Group. He draws his inspiration from his nightmares and dreams, as well as the many forms of music. He says that his inspiration can be born from anything, and he is always writing down ideas, or making up outlines of stories. He quotes his favorite authors as H.P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, Edgar A. Poe, J. R. R. Tolkien—to list a few of the many. He loves horror, science fiction, fantasy, and comedy. He is a big fan of Simon Peg, and Nick Frost. He never used to like writing in high school, and always disliked English class. His sentiments started to change his senior year, where he did research papers on the absurdity that politicians and groups labeled video games as the cause of violence. Writing began to become his passion after, he and his family were in a near fatal car accident in 2008. Now he likes to write—unhinged—and continues to do so at his Knoxville, TN home with his wife, two daughters, and two cats. When he is not actively writing stories, he likes to play video games on both PC and console. His most popular played game being World of Warcraft, which is responsible for him meeting his wife of nine years.
