The Mill

‘Lyla could hear the screams as the sound of cloth and flesh ripping echoed in her ears. Yet she stayed focused on the dark woods that spread out before her as the lift carried her up and away from the terror down below. The iron gate that caged her in was her only savior.’
Lyla Owens: ‘The Village Idiot’ as most of her townsfolk referred to her as, was no doubt, a simple minded girl. Alone and friendless til the mysterious nobleman 'Claude DeCuir' came to town. Things seem to be looking up for Lyla, that is until Halloween when a group of the towns youth invite her out for ‘special gathering’ at the old Mill. What starts out as a cruel joke quickly turns in to their worst nightmare when the group finds they are not the only ones gathering there on this particular night.
