Title: Paranoia

Subtitle: It's the wounds we can't see that hurt the most

Explanation: My cover is about PTSD. The wound we can see is the blood dripping from a cut and the wounds we can't see are the cracks in his soul threatening to fall apart. What seems like a minor injury on the surface is as painful as shattering like glass. His eyes are filled with paranoia because the blood reminded him of something traumatic from the past. The physical scars might have healed, but the emotional scars take much longer to get better.
