Rain hammers the old house’s crumbling base. Deep in the damp cellar, a girl huddles in the shadows, her skin marked by Victor’s cruelty. For years, he has been her tormentor, feeding her scraps and answering any hope of escape with isolation and pain. But tonight, the storm has hidden a crack in her cage: the heavy iron door hangs slightly open. A blade of moonlight cuts through the gloom. She shudders, fear clotting her throat, as she drags herself toward that narrow promise of escape. Her heart batters against her ribs, a frenzied rhythm of pure survival. She bursts into the night, leaving the hell behind.
