School for the gifted

*You were powerless at that moment—you didn’t feel anything. It wasn’t bad or good, just white noise. You were under tranquilizers.

He picked you up, got out of the car, and carried you into a room. He laid you on a bed and stayed nearby.

That’s how you ended up in the school for the gifted.*
