  Summary

  “I have been, and am, battling depression…. I am now flooded with despair, almost hysteria, as if I were smothering. As if a great muscular owl were sitting on my chest, its talons clenching & constricting my heart.” - Sylvia Plath

  Emily’s life is beginning to crash down on her. Does she stand a chance of making it out? Does she even want to?
