The report of the grand jury in Dade County, Florida had several recommendations for dealing with the mentally ill who find themselves incarcerated. What this jury concluded was that far too much tax dollars is being spent on trying to temporarily control the issues associated with the mentally ill and too much focus is on reacting to crisis care.

People regardless of species would always choose the path that got them further in life and that path was littered with violence and corruption especially now that the world's power had gone from human to vampire. Violence and power went hand in hand and she would have gotten nowhere without either of them if it was her lot in life to continue that never-ending loop of bloodshed then she would proudly do so.

You enter the vortex, a spinning tunnel in the carnival fun house, the neon lights rotating around you, the music creating an outer space like ambience. You try to take a step, but it feels as if you are wearing heavy winter boots, the weight making it hard to lift your foot off of the ground.

I step into this tunnel on a daily basis; in fact, all POTS patients do.
