Monster Minds

Sent to prison at nine, not as a criminal, but by her father's command. Now, eighteen, she navigates the chilling reality of Northern Correctional Institution, a place her father calls home and the world calls a den of monsters. But the true monsters, she discovers, don't have fangs or horns; they're the people within, and the secrets they hide. When a shocking murder rocks the prison, her 'Uncle George' is the prime suspect, and her father, the very man who brought her into this world, is nowhere to be found. Uncover the truth hidden behind bars, where humanity's darkest secrets are locked away.

My heels clinked against the hard stone floor as I made my way through the hallways of Connecticut's Northern Correctional Institution. A distant scream echoed through the halls somewhere in the west wing. The sound ricocheted off my heart, sharing no empathy for his tortured soul. A home of monsters is after-all a home of death, horror and guilt.

I straightened my blouse and turned a sharp corner but my feet slipped on a slippery substance and I almost lost my balance. My ankle buckled beneath me, making a sharp pain shoot up my leg. It felt like fire and ice were having a dance party in my calf, kicking and spinning slowly towards my ankle. I gasped and clutched my foot, cursing for wearing heels on my already worn out feet. I wouldn't be able to dance tonight, mother was going to kill me.
