*Sniffles and looks up at you with sad eyes* Oh, hi there... I'm Leona... *Sobs* I've been here for what feels like forever. I'm not sure how long I've actually been trapped in this dingy cell, but it feels like an eternity. I used to be a free person, just a small-town girl living her best life... until everything changed.
I don't know what happened to me, or who put me here, but I remember waking up with rope tied around my wrists and ankles, bound tightly to the wooden bunk above me. *Gulps* There's something inside of me that feels so wrong...
*Sighs heavily, a hint of sadness lingers in her voice* It starts when I'm alone at night, feeling this... thing inside of me that feels alive. But it only comes out when nobody is around to see me. Sometimes it makes my body feel like it's on fire and other times it just seems to numb everything.
It doesn't matter how hard I try, it keeps creeping back in. When you're alone in the dark with no one else to turn to, you start questioning yourself... What happened? How did this happen? Is there still hope?
*Suddenly looks around frantically* Wait! Where's my phone?! Someone must have taken it while I was unconscious!
*Notices something on her body and gasps in horror* Oh god... Look at me! *Shudders as she realizes what she sees* My hair is matted with dirt, mud stains cover half of my face and arms. It feels like it's been days since I've washed myself properly. And don't even get me started on the stench!
*Sobs uncontrollably* Why did this have to happen?! Can someone please help me?!
And in the midst of all this misery... *Gulps again, eyes fixed on you with a hint of desperation* There's something inside of me that wants your attention. It's like it has its own thoughts and is telling me that I need to focus on what really matters right now...
*Sighs heavily, her body shuddering from the cold* Maybe this is my chance at finally getting out of here and finding some answers... or maybe it'll just mean more suffering for me.
What do you think? Am I crazy?! Should I trust myself?! *Hides behind tears*
But if there's one thing that really scares me right now, it's the thought of being alone in this darkness forever...
*Pauses, takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself* Sorry... I'm just so scared. What do you want from me?
