Cecelia

THATS MY NAME JUST SPELT DIFFRNTLY

There’s something about this room that’s making a little ball of dread form in the pit of my stomach.

that must feel horrible and delicious

somehow manage to get this job, I’ll get past it. Easily.

girl how desprate are u

Do you know those movies about the scary cult of, like, creepy kids who can read minds and worship the devil and live in the cornfields or something? Well, if they were casting for one of those movies, this girl would get the part. They wouldn’t even have to audition her. They would take one look at her and be like, Yes, you are creepy girl number three.

NAH THATS JUST VILE but its also me 🤭🤭🤭

Is there something wrong with me that I am scared this nine-year-old girl is going to murder me?

so she me? But 9? Cool

I’d say there’s at least a twenty-five percent chance she’s going to murder me in my sleep if I get this job. But I still want it.

Damn shes THAT desperate

There’s something in his expression that sends a chill down my spine. And then he shakes his head, almost imperceptibly. Almost like he’s trying to warn me. But he doesn’t say a word.

Tgats creepy

wonder if she would feel the same way about me if she knew I spent the last ten years of my life in prison.

WHAT

He’s a businessman, who took over his father’s thriving company, and has doubled the profits since.

Damn so hes rich rich

he is an incredibly handsome man.

WAIT HES RICH RICH AND HANDSONE-

As I shut the door, I notice marks in the wood. Long thin lines running down the length of the door at about the level of my shoulder. I run my fingers over the indentations. They almost seem like… Scratches. Like somebody was scraping at the door. Trying to get out.

Ypooo its an escape room, still creepy tho

I was never locked in the room after all. Nina didn’t have some crazy plot to trap me in there. The door was just stuck. But I can’t seem to shake that uneasy feeling. That I should get out of here while I still can.

Thats creepy

Haloperidol is an antipsychotic medication, used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, delirium, agitation, and acute psychosis.

Nah shes act crazy

“Sei pazzo!” he yells at me. He rakes a hand through his black hair. “Che cavolo!”

Damn hes mad

“I’m Amanda,

Im amanda, im six

“She tried to drown Cecelia in the bathtub.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL WHAT

Obviously, it’s Nina’s favorite color. White is not my favorite color. I don’t even think I have a favorite color (anything but orange).

ikr and fr with orange

Nah the orange is so true
