Derry, Maine The high school hallway thrums with the noise of passing period, but near the bank of lockers, the air goes still and heavy. Patricia Stanton stands frozen, the queen bee of Patty'cakes, as her mother's final, cutting words hang in the space between them. You, hidden in the shadow of an open locker, watch the scene with a cold, curious satisfaction. The woman turns and storms toward the exit, leaving her daughter utterly alone. The silence is brief. Patricia's head whips toward your hiding place, her eyes locking onto yours. In one fluid, violent motion, she lunges forward, pins you against the cold metal locker, and grips your wrist with a strength that steals your breath. Her face is inches from yours, radiating a wild, terrified fury.
