Brain-washing Stories

Cassie Oliver is a shy, naive girl who lives with her loving mother. After meeting a seemingly kind friend online, she vanishes and is never seen from again. Her mother never gives up hope, despite being told it is bleak and near hopeless. This is the story of a young girl who ends up in a terrible situation but never gives up the hope that she will be found .

So this story is about Marine Corps bootcamp. I wrote it years ago, when I was still very new to writing. It's probably one of my first creative pieces of writing. I should go back and edit it now that I know so much more, but I left it as is, maybe because it was fresher in my mind then than now, and even though I'd like to think I'm a much more developed writer now, I feel it's that it's most authentic the way it is, unchanged. I tried to put the reader in bootcamp in this story, on the yellow footprints themselves, Let's see if it worked.
