    CharlotteCharlotte was a resolute silhouette on the grey path. Her black coat flared sharply from her small waist, short cut raven hair raised in small tufts in the prevailing wind.  She had dropped her battered leather case beside her. The pair of them frozen indefinitely before the bleak fortress before them. Linton’s School for Wayward Girls. For Nelly, It was the best she could now do for her daughter. Including withholding parts of her own history, her own blood. She turned her battered Volkswagon down the ill-used road back to civilisation and did not look back.

    Day one, Saturday 9:00 Awww.onedoor.ccM: I feel pretty silly and paranoid keeping a journal over this. But I want a record of my symptoms. In case I did catch something from the guy yesterday. I mean maybe he had some undiscovered virus. A record of my symptoms could help the doctors. I guess maybe that kinda thinking does mean I’m paranoid. What am I doing?
