All I could do was laugh . Soon , a white van pulled up beside me . A few men got out and threw me in the back . The next time I was aware of my surroundings , I was in a mental hospital . Every day , they forced me to swallow pills . 16 1115 On my third day in the asylum , my best friend , Jess , came to visit . I vaguely recognized her . I rushed to her , shaking her arms frant- ically . " Jess ! Help me ! Save me ! There are bad men ! So many bad men ! " Then I started laughing again . I turned and saw a man with her . He looked familiar , but I couldn't place him . I squatted down and started drawing circles on the floor , their words a meaningless buzz around me . Jess smiled at the man . " Liam , I think she's really lost it . How pathetic . She couldn't even handle that ? " Liam sneered . " Good . She deserves all of it ." A news report was playing on the hospital TV . " The suspect , Aubrey , age 30 , has been apprehended for collaborating with a ring of rapists to lure young women into traps . ' At least three victims have been identified .

In a landmark case , our city is pioneering a new form of punitive justice , utilizing advanced technology to erase and implant memories . Professi- onal actors were hired to stage a series of retaliatory scenarios . According to the latest reports , Aubrey has been committed to a secure psychiatric facility for treatment and observation . " Jess and Liam were still talking , right in front of me . " You know , there are still good people in the world . All those actors were volunteers , they didn't even want to be paid . But the rapis- ts were real , of course . She just forgot who they were . They were certainly happy to cooperate with the police in exchange for a lighter sentence . " " Yeah , they got off easy this time - But they're scheduled for chemical castration soon . It was either that or the death penalty . " " Let's go . We just came to confirm she's really crazy . " " Those poor girls she hurt . One of them tried to kill herself . " " Hahaha , she'll probably die without ever knowing how we did it . We had access to all her data . We even had a hacker controlling her phone and security cameras . And she actually thought she was being reborn . So funny . " " The hospital's new tech can even simulate a near - death experience . If she'd really been stabbed in the heart , she wouldn't have a single life left , let alone ten . " " And that comic book ! We put so much effort into this punishment . We hired a special psychologist and a comic artist . That psych- ic was brilliant , too . He said drawing the comic that way would work perfectly , using her own fear to predict her actions . " " It was a pain planting a new comic in her apartment each time , though . They need to improve that part of the project . " " Whatever . Let's get out of here . This place gives me the creeps . " 17 I watched them walk away Flickers of memory started to return . Images of me , luring other girls , betraying their trust . Chapter 2 My hands flew to my face , trembling .
