Midnight terror
Sparrow Moon was not at all what I thought she would be. I wasn't given much time to go over her casefile before our first appointment, but from what I had read I half-expected some kind of uncontrollable monster to walk through the door. She wasn't anything like that. She was quiet and guarded. Smaller in person than what I had imagined from her photograph. A perfectly normal 17 year-old girl. That made it even harder to believe she was capable of doing the things that she did. She was the last surviving member of the so-called "Woodfield Five." A group of kids all from the same remote northern town who suffered a series of unexplained, at times violent, mental breaks. Clinical notes suggested some kind of shared psychosis, though unlike anything I'd ever heard of in my twenty year practice. By all accounts Sparrow had an unremarkable childhood. No indications of behavioral difficulty, good grades in school, active social life, no family history of mental illness to speak of. Her mother had been part of some offbeat spiritual commune years earlier but had left that behind when Sparrow was quite young and eventually remarried. There was nothing to suggest any kind of underlying trauma or abuse, though as you come to find in my line of work, that's not always so obvious. The only path to understanding what really happened in Woodfield was Sparrow herself, and that would prove more difficult than anyone anticipated.
