À propos de cet audio
The Workhouse loomed impressively over the town, a majestic but formidable building that would become the prestigious Shrewsbury School.
An institution and Asylum for destitute paupers, lunatics and vagrants, its past secrets and atrocities locked away behind closed doors.
‘Voices’ whispered to her the gory details of her brother’s death, inserting pictures in her head, naming her as the one to blame.
The court condemned the hit-and-run driver, but the trial had never ended for her. There was a jury of malevolent, faceless persecutors who lived in her head, attacking her mind with accusations, ridicule, and abuse.
Trying to put a face to them, she only saw birds with sharp talons and curved beaks, their large eyes penetrating her, which was why she now stood motionless.
The owls were pinning her to the spot. But they were also powerfully pulling her through a portal in time that opened to another era through an antique mirror.
