A boy enters an institution that claims to reform behavioral issues, but operates on heavy-handed control, inconsistent policies, and inflicted trauma. The rules shift depending on who’s enforcing them, and survival depends on reading people as much as knowing the institution’s policies. As alliances form and fracture, every choice the boy makes carries consequences. Friendships offer support, but also carry risk and inflame trust issues. In a system that reshapes identity while insisting it’s improving character, endurance becomes the only constant, and the person the boy leaves as may not match who he was when he came in.
3 pages. PDF and PUB files included.
