TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEMI GRAPHIC ABUSE, RAPE, ABORTION, MURDER PLOTS, INCEST, MIND-FUCKING AND OTHER FORMS OF PAIN

What did you expect? That Dr. Brenner is a grade A asshole. I am very proud of this story though. I have spent a while working on it. I have written most of it, but will be finishing up as I post. I'll post once a week to start, but will work up from there.

Apologies to anyone who has thought I simply dropped off the face of the earth due to inactivity. I had a couple of family vacations, finals, my birthday, auditions for multiple shows, and the commencement of three summer classes.

The length of these "chapters" will vary wildly, just heads up. They are written more as diary entries/peeks into Elle's mind than traditional chapters. Everything is first person! And probably filled with errors as I am too self-conscious of my own work to look for a beta. Also, the number under each date is her age. She was born sometime in November 1971.

So, without further ado…. Enjoy?

Papa brought me flowers! I like the pretty flowers. I knowed how to smush up a can so he be happy. That make me happy, because I knowed he won't have to punish me for being naughty if he be happy. I got a new gown too! This one has itty bitty dotties on it. My old was no dotties, so this is exciting! Papa use that word when I do a new thing. Then he kiss me. But he always do that anyway.
