The Locked Ward

“Everyone here has a story they aren’t telling.”

Every secret in that hospital feels like a physical weight. Ruth's past is a constant ghost following her down those sterile halls.

“Once you're behind these doors, your voice loses its power.”

Living in a place where your own mind is doubted must be terrifying. The way the staff looks right through the patients made my skin crawl.

Ruth risked everything just to find a shred of the truth about her mother. It made me wonder what secrets my own family might be hiding in plain sight.

“The doctors can be just as broken as the patients.”

The line between the people holding the keys and the ones locked away is thinner than we think. Power can be its own kind of sickness.
