The Road to Nowhere
Lee Argus - 2011
My victims were not people in the strictest sense, but they once were.I woke in a dark room, not knowing where I was or how I had got there. My eyes could vaguely make out the white walls that surrounded me. The faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the room, but there was something it failed to conceal. It was a pungent smell, making me think of old pennies and spoiled meat.I tried to remember where I was. A few vague images and dim recollections slipped away as soon as my mind futility grasped at them. Why couldn’t I remember? Was there an accident? I still knew what things were. I knew the thing underneath of me was called a bed. What I couldn’t remember was anything that personally related to me. My past, my name, and even my appearance were things that didn’t exist in my mind. How could I have forgotten?To my left were windows covered in thick heavy curtains. Hardly any light made its way into the room, which made it difficult to see my surroundings.

Becca Bell - 2019
Then, of course, she barrels into Benedict (emphasis on dick) Chauncer on her first day and opens her snarky mouth without knowing just who he is. But she soon finds out Benedict is the king of this school, and no one talks back to the king. Now Eva’s trapped between a rock and a hard place, in more ways than one, and if she wants to remain at this university (that Benedict’s parents own), and if she wants her parents to keep their jobs at the school library (so they aren’t homeless), she’ll have to submit to Benedict’s every command (AKA- be his slave). But Benedict is about to learn that Eva isn’t a pushover, no matter what the stakes are. This story has a Happy Ever After.
