The breaking point came on November 28th. Ratched had decided to revoke “outdoor time” indefinitely after a patient had wandered toward the fence. The patients grew restless, then silent—that terrible, medicated silence Penny hated.
I need to create a setting that's eerie, maybe with elements of psychological horror. Explore Penny's backstory, perhaps why she's there. Maybe the barber is someone who previously shaved patients' heads for treatments, symbolizing control. Nurse Ratched is the classic antagonist, maybe with more depth.
