The Burgess Theory

"It felt like someone was unscrewing something inside of me. It hurt badly. I told him he was hurting me and asked him to stop but he didn't. Instead, he went at it with even more force. I tried to scream but before I knew it, his other palm was right there, covering my mouth. I laid there with my back against this brick wall in this dimly lit alley. I was making muffled sounds and crying but with the loud music blaring from the party, going on inside, no one could hear me." - Page 61-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The burgess theory is a psychological thriller about a young man who, in an attempt to get over his traumatic childhood, has to come to terms with gruesome secrets about his own past and personality.
