Tucked away in the heartland of America, Howl University stood. Old, prestigious and with a venerable list of alumni across a variety of fields. It was considered to be one of the greatest 'old' universities in the country. The grounds of the university were extensive, with five large and gothic-architecture influenced buildings making up the central space....

Having now won the election, and in doing so partially told my story, I figured it was time to tell it to the world more clearly. To do so, I'd allowed a journalist, Max Murphy, a long interview with me.

She had become accustomed to this stillness, the absence of her husband, Daniel, who had been gone for nearly two years now.
