In which a girl's loved ones mourn her loss Benedict Adelaide Calhoun is gone. Her bathroom sink is still stained with old blood and her body is no where to be found. She was drained physically, emotionally and mentally. The others didn't notice it but she felt every string being pulled as the life drained out of her. On the warm spring morning of May 23rd when Benedict's parents walk into her room to find their daughter missing and a suicide note on her table that has been crusted over with tears, they suddenly know why Benedict didn't talk to them like she used to and why she never smiled her million dollar smile whenever she came back from school. The news spreads across town and reaches the ears of Benedict's best friends, teacher, and ex-boyfriend. The town is suddenly thrown into a state of false melancholy. This is her story; the smiles, the bad jokes and the bittersweet memories of their fights, and the days after. In a desperate dash, the people who surround her try to trace it all to the moment it where shit hit the fan, to the moment where Benedict they knew disappeared and a monster manifested in her place. These are the pieces she left behind. These are the pieces of her.
