As Willow Wept

"Dear Miss Hayley Faye,

Congratulations on turning 18, and we at Willow Manor hope you had a pleasant day. However, this letter comes on a more serious note.

You are one of six 18-20 year olds to be randomly selected to participate in a science testing programme. Should you accept this offer, you will fly out this Saturday at 12pm to England to Willowing, a town on the coast of southeast England.

Within this programme you are entitled to free, private living quarters, with a communal gym, kitchen and luxury common room, which you will share with the other 5 members of the programme. Free meals, transport (to anywhere) and access to substantial funds (within reason) will also be provided.

In exchange for this, you will participate in mental and physical testing, to help develop pharmaceutical drugs for various illnesses prevalent within the UK and Europe. You are not required to take any new medication, and will be health monitored readily to ensure testing does not affect your wellbeing in any way.

Enclosed with this letter is a plane ticket, a card for free currency exchange - should you need it - and the details of whom you must contact upon landing in England. Hayley, we look forward to meeting you in person.

Regards,
Mr Vaerian Willow
~ The Willow Manor Organisation"

When Hayley gets the opportunity to leave the tiny confines of Ashabol, Spain, and her hellish past and life behind, she doesn't think twice.

Now, haunted by the idea of strangers and secrets, Hayley wonders if she made the right decision, and what awaits her at Willow Manor.
