    About this ebook

    Freedom Hall looks large, modern and very stable. But inside both staff and patients are in a state of flux. Freedom is not licence though, and some will pay a price for the choices they make. When Chaz and Mary-Lou arrive there one cold winter night, one will seek sanctuary and safety while the other will prove the catalyst for change.

      I Never

      Jul 10, 2022

      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      “It just doesn’t make any sense,” Daphne said from behind her cigarette. “Of all the people in the world, I’m me.” Disinfectant, and the reek of the canteen food laid out on the table, brought back memories of school dinners and dread. Daph wore her
