Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Chloe has just one job to do ... She must escape from her unhinged captor.
She is certain of two things. The first is that she has reached her use- by-date. His 'virgin' has become a liability. The Monster will make good his threat. He will kill her. Soon. And secondly, her plan is exceedingly dangerous.
Can Chloe find courage enough to tame the unspeakable terror in which she is drowning, in order to flee The Monster and his brutality?

I must warn the reader about the graphic and disturbing details in this story. It was deliberate because I wanted to convey the evil that lurks beneath the façade of that we regard to be the "ordinary" in our midst. There is no demographic that is devoid of those who seek power and control, who are willing to hurt those more vulnerable to achieve this. We call such people violent, abusers, paedophiles, sadists, deviants, and monsters. The nomenclature is hardly relevant to those upon whom the pain is inflicted. Although this story is fictional, its themes are very real and may affect some readers.

It happened on a school day afternoon in broad daylight on the edge of a wood near Chloe's home. Chloe Thomas hadn't arrived home for dinner, by which time the late spring evening was darkening. Anna, her mother, received no answer to her calls to her daughter's mobile phone. Increasingly worried, she called Jack, Chloe's boyfriend, who said that he had left Chloe in the allotment at about five to cycle home as usual. Anna called Chloe's close friends, all of whom said that they had last seen Chloe at the end of the school day as they had left class around 3.30 pm, but not after that. They promised to check straight away with other friends and to call Anna back if they had news of her, but none did. Anton, Chloe's father, was alerted. He, Anna, and the twins drove back to school and then to the allotment and could find no trace of Chloe.
