Living
in the dark, knowing the
sunlight is above. Out of
reach. Paulini could feel its
warmth beam down on her face,
like a lighthouse giving hope
to a vessel.
She was that vessel. An empty
vessel. She is imprisoned in a
hellhole, an abode of the
damned. She is serving a
sentence, her world not her
own - no control over her
life, no authority over her
day, she must abide by the
rules - but whose rules are
they? And is she really
imprisoned?
