I've decided Chapter 31 is the finale. Enjoy the last few chapters :)
THE OUTSIDE
People around Australia sat at their television sets, channels set to every kind of news, because there was one thing everybody was talking about: Silver Gardens.
Headlines blared, "Missing People Found At Hotel", "Serial Killer or Hotel Owner?", "16 Murderer Found".
Every person in the country has their eyes glued to the screen. Reporters were getting the job of the year.
"Around one hundred and fifty missing people have been found inside a popular, well-to-do hotel. They were forced into slavery, prostitution and human experiments by a psychopath who called himself 16. The psychopath himself was believed to be the first in the series of kidnappings. His name was Jamey Carr."
Jamey Carr. Jamey Carr was the name one everybody's lips. Jamey Carr, the man who kidnapped, imprisoned, enslaved, violated, injured, and mentally scarred teenagers and young adults, the youngest just 10. It was horrible.
The more optimistic news channels showed the children reunited with their families. The most popular video was a homemade one, taken by a bystander, showing little Maya Stone running into the arms of her mother, screaming and laughing and crying.
Overall, 243 people died inside Silver Gardens. A massive memorial service was held for them all outside the hotel; it was aired on national television. All the survivors were there to acknowledge those who died. Ruby Carr, the psychopath's own sister, read them out, each name one by one, crying by the end.
People asked questions, and the only ones who could answer were the survivors. But the survivors locked themselves away. They didn't want to talk about why they didn't try to run. They didn't say anything about how this was kept hidden. They didn't want this. They wanted to recover from the trauma in peace.
Jamey Carr went to jail. The Silver Gardeners went to hospitals and mental health wards all around the country. And every single one of them went down in history.
Ethan Castillo and Harry Tirrell were both called to court on alleged murder charges. Ethan went dutifully and it was decreed self-defence. Harry took many weeks to appear from hiding, but eventually went received the same outcome.
Over the next ten years, 48% of the Silver Gardens survivors suicided. This number is still rising slowly.
Only two weeks after the incident, a victim's mother revealed some haunting information.....

The Beautiful and the Psychotic
Novela JuvenilI never expected to end up like this, at the hands of a psychopath, who uses us all. For his entertainment, for the entertainment of others, for slavery. I've known him since I was five... or so I thought. Jamey is psychotic. My psychotic cousin.
