Title: Foolin' the World

Prologue:

Willow Oak Clinic… it's where troubled kids from all places of the country are sent to be straightened out, it's where they learn discipline in the harshest of ways, it's where they learn responsibility in the cruelest of ways… it's where hell began.

Each member has their own story, their own reasons as to why they're there, why they did what they did, and their own twisted life. Some are mean…angry, while some are sad and depressed. Others were impulsive…and wild…and even a few were there by pure misfortune. They're so different, yet so the same, because almost all of them…were misunderstood. But at Willow Oak Clinic, none of that mattered. No one's reasoning and feelings were taken into consideration. At that particular rehab center everything was black and white. You do the crime you do the time, isn't that how the saying goes? At this place the words why and how didn't exist…it was plain and simple…you got one chance at happiness; one chance at your life and the members who were there blew it big time.

The clinic had one goal in mind for these disturbed kids and followed only one path to get them there. And that was to become what the clinic saw as the ideal person, the "perfect" being. They were to behave just as a Willow Oak instructor and coach would, as every doctor that worked there. They were being transformed into loyal followers and exact replicas of Dr. Sloane.

She was the founder, the educator and the "all knowing." But to the attendants of the clinic, she was the devil itself. Her combination of traditional and severe religious punishments left clinic residents in a state of panic, which ultimately led to their obedience, their cooperation. Just what Ms. Sloane sought after, what she worked kids at the clinic bone dry for, and what she usually, in the end, received...their unhindered loyalty and indisputable faith in her. She was simply brainwashing them.

For most kids there, they followed every rule and every order, they climbed up in levels in hopes to escape this hellhole. But those kids, they were just getting caught under the massive web of lies the clinic fed to every parent, every official, and to any questioning person. The clinic was the opposite of what every parent thought, they assumed it was saving their children from insanity and death. When in numerous cases, the kids ended up worse than they were when they came in. They ended up mindless, just following the ways of Sloane's teachings, which in many cases caused death for other people, which in return caused death for those brainwashed children.

Why and mostly how? No one really knows, but as with all unsolved mysteries in life, rumors spread.

Unfortunately for a particular group at Oak Clinic…they no longer have to question whether to believe those rumors…they no longer have to guess…because they've witnessed the truth. The truth, something everyone at the clinic craved for, the so-called truth that Dr. Sloane fed to her students and their parents, a truth that as humans, everyone feels obliged to know. But now they wish they had never found out. They struggle under the burden of knowing the true truth, just saying such a redundant phrase proved how deceiving the clinic was, how it hurt instead of helped. How a sadistic woman's views and own dark past was influencing the next generation, the future of this "corrupted world."

Every member of Willow Oak Clinic played society in some way or another. Most would do just about anything to get out of there…but for six misunderstood newcomers, they won't leave Willow Oak until it stops…

Foolin' the World.
