Hostile Illusions - PAPERBACK - RMRR25

Cruelty and all its power
Why am I the game of each hour?
Every pain, every slice…
It was not only me in this deadly vice.

I don’t want my stay in the Serenity Institute to be permanent, so I search my mind for memories, but most of what I find are reasons to run.
There is only one reason to stay.
Him.
Is he even real?
It seems deception is my only certainty.
