Jul 19, 2013: Assylum | Cici Rhodes

In a dark corner of the room, locked away for safety, Cici Rhodes waits, miserably. In a dark corner of her mind, locked away tightly, is what she is waiting for.

The days and nights have strung together in a whirlwind of isolation, humiliation and violation. She doesn’t know what is real any more and which of those experiences she has conjured in her mind.

Cici doesn’t think she’s crazy. She’s pretty sure she doesn’t need to be kept in a straight jacket, shackled to the walls. But if these are the kinds of fantasies she has when she is alone, maybe it is for the best.
