Synopsis: Laura, who has been held captive at the Rock Creek Center, is part of a secret government study tucked away in the mountains of Montana under the cover of a boarding school for troubled teens. The first two floors host completely normal educational operations and dormitories, but the locked third floor is home to a select group of youth who are involuntarily the subjects of mind-control experiments. Laura has just been recaptured from her second failed escape attempt and the director she stabbed in her flight to freedom has been transported to the third floor for medical treatment, where he will personally carry out Laura's punishment, upon recovery. Laura is determined to be free, no matter what the consequences.

Laura gasped as the swirling rainbow mist, emerging from the songs of their hearts, painted a detailed 3D mural. The walls, ceiling, and floors blazed with a tangible, sparkling light that glittered and glowed.

Josh giggled as Laura's mouth dropped at the sound of a bird's cheep-a-cheep-cheep. "No way!" Laura whispered, knowing the room was under surveillance. "Are you kidding? This is real?"

Behind the two-way mirror, Dr. Gates was busy taking notes.

This is a true story from my blog that I'm slowly rewriting into fiction. Laura, whose name means "Victorious One," is dreaming in this segment, and discovering that her dream life closely parallels and links to her conscious life, supplying her with uncanny wisdom that fuels her journey to freedom. Thank you for any wisdom or guidance you may have!
