Year-Long Summer Camp

. . . I Googled the college and read the wiki before I arrived. I knew the campus was built with the contingency that if the school failed, the facilities could be easily converted into a prison. That was the only way the founders were able to procure the necessary funds from the state back in the 1960s. Sitting in my cell, it all made sense. . .

This is how Dani's freshmen year begins, but it isn't how it ends. She meets people. Talks with her hometown friends, experiments, and finds that what she thought life would be like, was always. . . just that. A thought. An idea. One so based on pretense that when it falls apart, there are no words to describe the freedom of discarded expectations.
