I don't.

~Joy, Silencing Joy

Joy is the type of person that goes about her business, stays out of people's way, and keeps to herself. Everything changes one night at a football game.

Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Follow Joy as she discovers what wrong place and wrong time actually mean.

Kara shifted in her seat and her foot slipped. Something pulled on it.

A hand came around her mouth and she was falling. Kara found herself flat on the ground in the dirt and trash under the bleachers.

A cloth was slipped over her mouth and tied behind her head. Someone flipped her over like a hog, tying and dressing it for a roast over a spit. Kara's hands were yanked and bound behind her back with thick rope.

~Kara, Silencing Joy
