'Outside', it was a word I hadn't heard before, yet it sparked my interest. What was 'outside', was it a person, a place, or something entirely different? What did it mean? I was tempted to ask Mrs Shirly about it, but I knew it wasn't a good idea. She wouldn't be happy that I'd heard a word. She would wonder why, she'd be confused, and a confused Mrs Shirly was never good, not even for the vile disgrace of a person known as Mr Shirly. (has scenes of abuse, not graphic) A girl locked in her house with nothing to do but wonder must try and escape her home and her parents only to find that there are many hidden secrets and mysteries hidden by the people inside Cover by @kyra_2103 This is only chapter 1.
