Depressed, suicidal, dark. Those three words described little Antonia. Spending all her life in an orphanage gave her a different sense in life. She thought her life was horrible. Having no parents and nobody to care for her, she had a deprived childhood. Every orphan in the orphanage thought she was ill and deserved to be placed into an asylum. But she didn't, she stayed.

On a night where Antonia stood awake thinking about her life, smoke emerged out of nowhere. Fire engulfed the whole depressing building, which the orphans called home. Antonia was out the window before the fire could reach her isolated room. She was the only survivor. Or so she thought.

Years later Antonia grew distant from the world. No one knew her, no one talked to her, she liked it that way. Until one day she has an urge to go back to where she grew up, the burnt down orphanage. Once she got closer and closer there was a pull that wouldn't let her go.

What she might have thought was a simple trip to her past turns out to be something more. What will she find that will change her whole life? That is if she even has one.
