Taking A Look At Thorncliffe Asylum
A murderous stench possessed Thorncliffe Asylum, trepidation suffused the asylum dwellers. A vile killer remained at large and claimed five victims already.
Torrents of rain poured down furiously like bullets, accompanied by howling winds. Harkness floundered along the stone path in his black derby shoes, struggling to resist the wind that is desperately trying to knock him off balance.

“You think you’re in control, don’t you?”
“Can you tell us where patient 50 is?” Harkness shouted pathetically, trying to stamp his authority on him but his attempt failed. Peters gazed at the floor and snarled.
“Harkness is going to die.”
“Please tell me anything I can use to stop this.” Harkness pled.
He neglected Harkness but just as he was about to exit, the man uttered the
