Easy is the descent, they say, but, of that, Massie Block had never been too sure. That is, until she turned around and saw how far she had fallen. Once she was her: a beautiful, smart, bright star, but today she is less of what she could have been had she not tried so hard to simply fit in. After so many years in her expensive private school surrounded by what seemed like a million catty, vicious girls, what more could she have done than succumb to their witch-yness? She tried to fight it, this world of pain and torture, but she was in too deep, she had fallen too hard, and she soon found that she could not escape it. She wished that she realized what was happening when she became this girl, this one that she hardly knew, but when she tried to look at herself, she saw herself, her subconscious mind would utter, "Silly girl, it's you!" Poor Massie Block, dragged down into what she thought of as the deepest, darkest parts of Hell, too late realized that easy is the descent, and now there was no way out.
