In front of me loomed Hecate Hall, which, according to the brochure clutched in my sweaty hand, was “the premier reformatory institution for Prodigium adolescents.” “I always wondered what it would be like to live in somebody’s mouth.” Sunglasses like some sort of carnivorous jungle plant. Thanks to the humidity, my hair felt like it “Awesome,” I murmured, sliding my sunglasses on top of my head. I stepped out of the car and into the hot thick heat of August in Georgia. ![]()
