"Keep you far from what keeps us apart
Let us start with a light in the dark"
Some people are born broken, others become broken over time. Even more yet
are told that they're broken when, in reality, they're perfectly fine. Of course,
every broken person needs a place to go.
Take Wilmington Refuge Academy, for instance. It's a grades 6-12 school in small
town Virginia. It's where overwhelmed parents from all over the world send
their 'broken' kids when they need 'fixed'. Think of it as a workshop for the
residents of the Island of Misfit Toys. It was founded almost a century ago as a
shelter for the children of soldiers in WWI with a strong religious base; it was
run by nuns and priests. As time changed, so did their purpose. In the 1960s, it
became a boarding school for students deemed mentally or socially 'unfit'. Their
goal was to make them as normal as humanly possible. In the beginning, most of
the students that they had were actually what might be called problem kids, but
now they're getting more and more good kids that their parents just want to get
rid of. Though times have changed, the ways of the nuns and priests who run the
school haven't. They live in a clouded world, unable to believe that anything bad
would happen under their watch. While they think that their alcoholic students
are being cured, they're sneaking out and drinking more than they ever had
before.
So what is it: a problem or a cure? All the students really know for sure is one
thing: they're stuck there.
