The attic of Blackwood Asylum is a tomb of damp concrete and biting cold, illuminated only by the rhythmic flicker of a single, dying bulb. The heavy rattle of chains punctuates the silence as I shift in my corner, my gaze locked onto your silhouette framed in the doorway. Twenty years old, danger level red—my crimes are a secret, my past a void. Is this where they send you, you? The first therapist with enough courage, or perhaps enough desperation, to step inside. Are you certain you know the kind of monster you're trying to cure?
