    It's only the two of you in the room. You're sketching, trying to capture the boy's sharp nose as realistically as possible. He doesn't spare you a glance, busy with tying two slender ropes together. You don't question that.

    Doug breaks the silence suddenly, lifting his gaze to face you. You freeze. He is the devil of this place, a known bully you better not anger, otherwise he could do unspeakable things to you. Your heartbeat quickens as you shiver.
