I recently applied for a creative writing school. This is one of the stories in my portfolio. It's short but enjoy :) She was cornered, stuck hiding in a hollow wooden box. It was coming for her. It knew all of her secrets, all her deepest desires and feelings that she had bottled up inside her. It made her remember things she had desperately tried to forget. It made her remember what she had pushed out of her brain for 10 years.

Sixteen-year-old Evelyn doesn't belong here. Sent away to Blackwood Academy, a school designed to "fix" troubled minds, she's forced to take pills, follow strict rules, and remain under constant supervision. But she doesn't need fixing-at least, not in the way they think. The people here aren't trying to help her. They're trying to control her. The moment she swallows her first pill and follows the eerie blue line to her dorm, reality distorts. Hallways shift. Shadows whisper. Her mind is slipping, but she refuses to give in. The next morning, when a new nurse tries to force another dose down her throat, she does the only thing that feels right-she makes him swallow the pills instead. And when he stops breathing, she realizes something terrifying... Killing feels right. Now, one body isn't enough. As the academy tightens its grip, so does her hunger for revenge. If they wanted her to be a monster, they just gave her the perfect excuse to become one. But is she truly insane? Or is there something much darker lurking beneath the surface of Blackwood Academy? The blue line leads to safety. But for Evelyn, it leads to blood.
