Prologue

Arlette's pov.

"New patient" screamed the nurse.

I looked up from my book I was reading, examining the new patient.

He looked exhausted and tired, he really did, I immediately felt bad for him, he looked wear out.

The nurse whispered something in his ear, something that I could not hear.

I put my book down and stared at him, making brief eye contact with him for a second.

I stood up from my chair and went up to him, "Hello, welcome to Laurelwood", I said as I shook his hand.

He smiled back, didn't say anything to me.

I wonder how he'll survive here.
