Not a story, just me ranting and raving really. Not expecting you all to read this or anything, though I can guarantee humour and alarming self-righteousness.

It has been four years since the government captured and imprisoned Amy Westgate after she massacred her family one moonlit night. She has grown up inside the secret laboratory known as The Music Box, where she has existed in two small rooms: a bedroom for when she's human and a steel pen for when she isn't. At the age of sixteen, knowing almost no other life, she is content in her insular world. The team of researchers headed by cryptozoologist R.J. Blass have grown close after the attack on the facility that nearly killed them all. The Music Box is their world too and their old lives are just as forgotten as Amy's. But when the government orders an end to the project, loyalties will be tested and old wounds will resurface.

In the spring of 2012, the US government captured a creature that wasn't supposed to exist. Faced with a monster of myth and nightmares, they built a secret facility half a mile beneath the earth to lock it away. But the scientists and caregivers charged with observing this specimen have been selected because of the control the government has over them more than their skills. Every one of them is emotionally damaged or morally ambiguous. They are so consumed with tragedies from their past they barely notice the humanity of the monster they tend or their own monstrous actions. As they seek redemption for their sins and failures, they are completely blinded to the machinations of the sinister corporation plotting against the creature and everyone in contact with it.
