XVI | Some Way Out

❦

It's evening,

Moonlight Sonata is pulsing through the walls.

We're sitting
in the main hall,

waiting for our turn.

My head
is spinning.

I've spent

the whole day

thinking about
Elliot.

My memory of him

is
almost

non-existent.

I've never talked to him,
scratch that,

I've barely seen him.

What has he done
that resulted in them

condemning him?

I don't remember
anything
about him.

Does it
have to do with our past?

Why we are here
in the first place?

I don't remember
anything
about me.

One thing is clear.

I catch Tammie's eye
from across the hall.

She's swinging her legs,

thumping them
against the plush cushioned sideboards,

staring at Mason.

If I'm going to escape,

I have to do it
myself.

Tammie

might
actually
be

enjoying this game.
