Drapetomania

Drapetomania. Noun. An overwhelming urge to run away. If Gracie Lockswood had to choose one word to describe her life, this would it. Drapetomanic. Because she has an overwhelming urge to run away from everything, every day. Depressed, lonely, and seeing no point to life, Gracie is barely living. Until one day, she meets a stranger online. They quickly become friends, and Gracie feels safe with this stranger. She tells him everything - her life story, her feelings, her dreams. Gracie has attempted suicide many times, yet always failed. But ever since meeting this stranger, things are starting to look up for Gracie. But is this stranger really who he says he is? How does Gracie know he won't give her what she's always craved, but no longer wants - death? She doesn't.
