Above me I could hear the men giving chase.Marko surfaces from a drug induced haze to find himself hidden from the world in a psychiatric ward. He is certain the 'Doctor' means to kill him, and he in turn has vengeful plans of his own.But how is it he came to stop taking his medication? Who can Marko trust and how much times does he have?Time enough to write it all down, his story of a coast to coast school trip, and the earthquake which ripped his world apart.
