There is a vault that lies in secret
A safe of sorts where the dead do not rest
They're turned and churned and gnashed and burned
With acid as they simmer deep in the pit

And the vault is young barely an eighth of a hundred old
But the inside is corroded, its soft walls full of holes
And things climb up in it, they hatch and eat and grow
And make the holes bigger, their fat ripe bodies cloned

But on the outside the vault is but new
The smell becomes tolerable after a time
The contents don't spill, a waterfall of red
But are locked with the key, a white sticker

by which all those things are entombed

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. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
