The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling

Margaret lives with a rare autoimmune condition that has destroyed her life, leaving her isolated. It has no cure, but she’s making do as best she can—until she’s offered a fully paid-for spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial. The conditions are simple, if grueling: she will live at the hospital as a full-time patient, subjecting herself to the near-total destruction of her immune system and its subsequent regeneration. The trial will essentially kill most of, but not all of her. But as the treatment progresses and her body begins to fail, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital. Unsure of what's real and what is just medication-induced delusion, Margaret struggles to find a way out as her body and mind succumb further to the darkness lurking throughout Graceview's halls.

Clear Your Shit: Elves! (Forgotten Book)

I wake up the next morning to the sounds a scuffling around me. Elves! There are elves rummaging through our things! This trip just keeps getting better and better. Heather and I both jump up ready to take on these elves. I've had enough of people stealing my things.

...wait. What were we doing? It's so early! I should be asleep still. I must have had a fitful sleep though because the campsite is a mess! We get right to tidying up. I pick up a book that somehow feels familiar? The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is clearly among my things, but I'm not sure where it's from. I flip it open to investigate and find myself immediately drawn into the story. I settle against a tree to continue reading. Heather won't mind finishing the clean up right? I glance up and see her mirroring my own position against another tree with her own open book in her lap, clearly enthralled. I smile and continue reading.
