A girl walked down a busy street in Atlanta. Her hair whipped around her face as she made her way downtown. It was a windy day, but the sun was bright.

There was, indeed, another door, half hidden behind some bushes. That must be the staff entrance. So Beth Hill looked straight ahead, exuding confidence she didn't quite feel. She made her way to the door and took the handle. Beth expected to open it to see her dream of working in the aquarium come true before her eyes.
She got something else entirely.
