I see trees, a grey sky, a barbed-wire fence.
I'm riding the back of the bus, the one that will take me to the insane asylum. Personally, I don't think I'm crazy but other people, think I'm more than just different.
I miss my family, I miss James, he was my best friend since kindergarten, but I had to leave him. To protect him. Next week is visiting day, I hope he'll come to see me, help get me out.
He knows I am not crazy, but other people beg to differ. We pull up to an iron gate with spades on the top. Behind it is a grey building with gates blocking off windows, big iron doors, with a series of locks. Well, Damn it! Why did I ever think of breaking out of this place? It's Impossible. Well... maybe I will like it here? No, I can't, I need to get out as soon as possible.
I meet this guy named Mike, he was supposed to help me find my room and get settled but he seemed crazier than I was, he has brown hair and blue eyes, he was wearing a white shirt but it had mud all over it, he had blue jeans but they were muddy too. Well...? what do they do here that makes the people here muddy and ragged? It's dinner time now and I head to the
cafeteria. They are serving Mac n' cheese, not my favourite but I will eat it. I head back to my room, a wooden bookshelf a small tv and a bed.
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
