AVERY
Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Present Day
For as long as I could remember, people had called me crazy. To be fair,
the psychologist at the Arizona Winslow Group Home for Troubled Girls
called me far worse than that—psycho, schizoid, and my personal favorite,
cunt. Yeah, he was a total douche, and that was putting it nicely. When I
outright refused his advancements, he made sure anyone who ever looked at
my file would only see a deranged girl with serious mental and behavioral
issues. I was sixteen at the time and lucky to have been able to fight off the
asshole when he tried to put his hands on me.
Not every girl had been that lucky.
That was five years ago. As soon as I turned eighteen, I signed myself
out of that place and moved to Brooklyn with my best friend, Catalina Jorge
—CJ for short. She was the only one who didn’t believe I was delusional,
who didn’t mock my affliction. I’d thought—at least hoped—that once I left
that hellish home, the dreams would subside some, especially since they
were always followed by crippling headaches.
I thought perhaps my childhood trauma, followed by the years spent in
the foster care system and then the Winslow Home, had been the triggers.
Unfortunately, they only got worse after I left, and even though I knew the

an accident, and I was convinced there was more to my dreams and visions.
Sometimes they came every night; other times, I could go weeks or
even months without one. Regardless, every time I experienced a dream or
vision, I was unable to find rest until I drew every detail of the images I saw
—of the strange world and nightmarish creatures that had haunted me since
the night I lost my parents in a gruesome car crash.
I was seven when it happened, and up until then, I’d grown up in the
backseat of my parents’ Jeep.
We lived like nomads, never staying long enough in any one place.
Mom and Dad would get a temporary job at a local diner or sometimes a
job working at the motels we were staying at. Then, without warning,
they’d gather our things in a rush, and we’d be back on the road.
Felt like we were always on the run. They tried to downplay things for
