Personal Narrative: My Life After The Chateau D 'If'

Fourteen years. I was trapped in a place no one could ever imagine being stuck in for fourteen years. When I was placed in the dark, dreary Chateau d’If, it hurt me greatly. Being in there messed with me, physically and mentally. I was so depressed that my only resort to finally being free and at peace was to starve myself to death.
