Cinder Rising

Elaine has been running her whole life. She doesnt get personally involved for fear of dangers that might befall anyone who comes close to her. When she meets Bryce at a bar, she shrugs him off, only to later find him deadat the hands of someone Elaine knows too well. This final straw casts her into the waiting arms of Willow Tree Asylum.

It all started when Elaine was four, and a young apparition appeared to her. She named this new playmate Cinder, a demented play on Cinderella, but her playmate was nothing like a fairy tale princess. Cinder instead did terrible things, but Elaine couldnt let her go.

Now at Willow Tree, Elaine hopes to find solace in therapy and journaling. She thinks Cinder might be a thing of the pastbut shes wrong. Cinder isnt done yet, and soon, a deathly shadow lingers over the asylum and all who live there. Elaine cant run any longer; she must face her fears, and in doing so, save the frightened people whove become her only friends.
