"Joe, you make no bones about it, there are corporal punishments here, at Elan."

"Corporal... That's a harsh term."

"Okay... What is it?"

You are comfortably in your bed. Everything is going well, you feel safe, but yet you can't sleep. Until 2 a.m...

Someone starts pounding on your bedroom door. You sit up in bed, scanning your surroundings suspiciously. And you don't have time to react as the door opens.

A few men, twice as tall and muscular as you, walk in. Behind them, in the doorway, are your parents. Looking completely serene, they watch, doing nothing.

You leap out of bed as the men approach. You try to escape, but immediately, they catch you and immobilize you. You throw a pleading and worried glance at your parents, but they still don't react. You can't even call for help.

The men come out of your house, carrying you and holding you tight so you don't run away, before forcing you into a car. The door slams, and the fitter begins to purr, synonymous that the car is started. Helpless, you watch your home move further and further away, until you no longer see it.

The car takes the highway, and national roads... then a dirt road... and you land in the middle of the woods.

Once you arrive, you see buildings in the middle of nature, completely isolated from the rest of the world. You are passed on to a couple of men, one of whom appears to be exactly the same age as you. Yet, he seems much more stronger.

Panic overwhelming you, you manage to break free and start running as fast as possible straight ahead of you, towards the woods. But suddenly, people come out of hiding and jump on you to immobilize you once more.

They take you to the buildings and bring you into a house... A house where screams of hate and pain escape.

You are at Elan School.
