Psychological Thriller Idea

3 posts in this topic

I was watching Leo's video on the heroes journey and came up with an idea for a book.

A timid boy (or girl) and their best friend (opposite gender) develop close relationship, the best friend is very daring and he’s known her all of his life from his earliest memories. She has always made him feel safe, despite her crazy nature. Then comes along an awful villain that they both meet and they get into a crazy downward spiral that ends with all 3 of them dying after the villain has been stabbed in the heart.

The boy awakens in a hospital room and discovers he’s in a ward after a psychotic episode, and he discovers he has scars that look exactly like the stretch marks his best friend had. The nurse said he had been scratching himself in his sleep. He digs around to find proof that his friend exists but can’t find any physical evidence. The week at the psych ward is then explained to him from 3 different accounts and parallels the exact story of the hero, best friend, and villain, except it’s all him.

That’s all I have so far! Let me know what you think. Is there already a book close to this?

@heisenburger interesting, I will need to watch that and see how close it is to what I have in mind. I don't watch/read much fiction anymore, so that's why I was wondering. Thank you!
