"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
- Mark Twain

Everybody has fears and insecurities. But sometimes they take a vicious route. They make a person something that they never expected to become even in their worst nightmares. 

This is a story about a girl who has insecurities and fears. Maira is an 18 year old girl who's been bullied, harassed and abused all her life by everyone from her father to her lover. 

What happens when someone is so supressed that their fear turns into anger? What happens when someone starts making everyone who wronged her pay with their lives in a sick twisted way? No one knows what's happening. But they will all reap what they sown.
