Prologue
It was a colorful autumn day in Portsville Florida. It was almost noon and a very sunny day with clear skies. That day was a particularly warm day at almost ninety degrees. This hot weather was unexpected and stress-inducing to some. Causing some people to make bad decisions. And causing others to be victims

Merlanna was lying in her bed, the sun was fully out and it was burning hot outside but she was still asleep. When her alarm went off she angrily slammed her fist into the clock. She had to go to work early, and she worked an outside job so with the unexpected heatwave she knew it would be a tough day.
She got out of bed and walked over to her medication table. There was a large jar with all her different medications in it. Instead of taking one a day like she should, she took three pills. All three were different types of medication, but Merlanna didn't care. She always did this, every day she would take more than she should, there was never a reason behind it but she was addicted. She always had been since her parents died in a fire thirteen years ago.
As she left for work Merlanna put something in the mail for someone. It looked as if it were a note, and she slipped it in the mail almost like a kid passes a note in class.
Merlanna got in her car and left for work. As she was driving she hit her brakes but they wouldn't work. As she tried to slow down the cars in front of her stopped at a red light, and she didn't want to run into a car she swerved into a ditch. The airbag popped out and hit her square in the face causing her to lose consciousness.
When she woke up she was in the hospital covered in a brown substance. Unannounced to Merlanna, the pills that she would take extra of every day were different kinds of laxatives. This amount of overdosage caused her bowels to spill out and also caused her to constantly vomit.
She closed her eyes again, but whenever she opened them she was on an operating table. The doctors were rushing to do something but she couldn't tell what. Everything was in funny shapes and there was a weird green line that kept moving up and down really fast. There were three letters and three numbers on it too, it looked like it said 2B0P0M. Whatever that acronym was, Merlanna couldn't understand it.
As the doctors began to rush to her she pulled a funny little plug out of the wall that looked almost like a phone charger. Once she closed her eyes it looked as if everything faded away, and she could feel a wall ahead of her. But there was one thing left that she remembered. It was the note.
Remember that your name is Merlanna, your family died thirteen years ago in a fire, you live in Portsville Florida and no matter what, remember to always take your pills every hour, it keeps the monsters away...
