Dysfunctional. Disturbed. Insane. Alone. Roman Florence was admitted into the Scheeltzor Mental Hospital in the Philippines at age 12 after she was diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder),Early Psychosis and Psychosis, and Schizophrenia...And she nearly sent her 19-month old brother to the hospital after 'the tree's told her too get rid of him, the demon.' During an interview with Florence's older sister, Bethany, they learned that growing up she would constantly threatened Beth when she wouldn't believe Roman about the monsters trying to invade her 5 year-old brain. Around her parents she would act normal, the perfect little angel every parent would want. But soon after she turned 9 years-old, things started to get...worse. One night-October 14, at 11:24 pm-Florence's parents woke up to Bethany's screaming and ran into the room of their eldest daughter to find Roman beating her with a shoe screaming; "Let go of my sister! Don't hurt her! LET GO!" "The 9 year-old girl was bawling her eyes out and beating Beth on her head very forcefully." Her father stated during the interview. "We hope that this Hospital will fix our little girl. We really hope to have one of our kids with us." After the interview he told reporters that after the many times of being threatened and harassed by Roman, Bethany was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and was planning on being sent to Scheeltzor in the coming years if it got worse. "The only way I can get rid of them is to kill."

In a dystopian world, where the strongest prevails, having peace is a luxury. Especially when someone from the past is out to destroy everything we have built up over the past 15 years. And with Christmas approaching, our group get to face ten hellish days. Preview: In his fury, the chains have rubbed his wrists and neck raw, despite me trying to calm him down. He suddenly calms down when the screams in the cell next to us switch to the sound of bones breaking. Now he sits with foam on his lips and his eyes wide, looking that way. After ten minutes, the sounds of the boys in our cell have died down, and we all look at the wall that separates us from the crackling of the breaking bones. And then suddenly all is quiet. After a few silent minutes, our cell door opens slowly. From the ball of light from the ceiling, the little girl in the doorway is illuminated. She is completely covered in blood and doesn't move. Then she opens her eyes and carefully walks towards us. And despite everything, my first impulse is to crawl backwards, away from the unnatural calm radiating from her. ------------- After reading yet another great older brothers/younger sister story, where the family gets reunited after years of separation, the sister keeps the secret that she was abused and assaulted all along, and the brothers conceal their work in the mafia, I decided to give it also a try. The output of my story was initially to turn this around with openness and unconditional support and the torture should happen right in front of their very eyes. Because no story is complete without the (un)necessary bloodshed, action, humour and, of course, a bad guy. And who knows, to throw everything completely upside down, the main character may not survive. I won't write warnings above each chapter, because most of them contain violence, blood, torture, etc. Constructive criticism is welcome. Ow, and English is not my first, second or third language. So if I mess up somewhere, let me know!
