   Summary

   The overwhelming scent of rotting filled my nostrils.
   I sat upright, using my hands to prop myself up.
   Getting to my feet, I surveyed my surroundings. The frigid air made the darkness all the more unwelcoming.
   I wasn't afraid of the dark. I was afraid of hypothermia, starvation, and dehydration.

   All Cam wanted was to live a quiet life, trying to push her traumatic memories behind her. One night at a dreary house party, her life turns upside down. Literally.
