"Trinity Heights Mental Institution was established in 1868 by wealthy philanthropist James Morrow. Civil War veteran and pioneer in the psychiatric field. It was Morrow who..." Caleb took off his earphones and glanced over the crappy pleather headrest to see the passenger sitting next to him. The older woman had just poked his shoulder.

"The pilot just made an announcement. He said to put electronic devices away," the woman explained.

"Thank you," Caleb responded. He folded his tray-table up, switched his iPad off, and shoved it into his backpack. A piece of paper grazed his hand inside the bag, a letter that he had poured over at least two dozen times in his family room back home.

"No strings attached?" Caleb's mother had asked him over and over, in utter disbelief that such an offer was possible.

"No strings attached," Caleb would reply every time.

Caleb pulled the letter from his bag, unfolding the folded and crumpled paper in his lap.

"Dear Lucky Recipient,

In today's day and age, academic excellence is a true rarity. It is a gift that our offices have found in you. Don't miss out on a great opportunity. In reward for your outstanding record and activity in society, our association is willing to pay for a week stay at Trinity Heights Suites. Modern accommodations meet Victorian class and style in our brand new hotel renovated from a historic location. As part of this all-inclusive reward vacation, you will not need to pay for a single thing, including airfare. Consider this a treat from our family to yours. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime trip just in time for the Holiday Season.

-Sincerely,

Trinity Heights"

Caleb folded the letter back up and slipped it into his backpack. Originally the letter had come with a financial and legal statement, as well as a brochure for the hotel itself, but Caleb had left those at home. It really was a miracle that he was allowed to go on the trip in the first place. Of course at first his mother thought the entire trip was a scam. Some cheap fake sweepstake to make a quick buck. It was only after Caleb had made the effort to fact check the credibility of the letter and its financial accompaniments (thank God his friend's dad was a lawyer) did she even consider it. And even then it took weeks to finally work her up to a point that she begrudgingly agreed.

Now here Caleb was, sitting on a flight to Massachusetts. Of course he never told his mom what the letter meant by "historic location"; that Trinity Falls was, in fact, at one point an asylum for the criminally insane before it became a hotel. Of course that was all the more reason Caleb wanted to go. Spending a week in a hotel potentially haunted by the ghosts of crazy people sounded like a great life plan.

In the week leading up to the trip, Caleb had pumped himself up by watching horror movies with a few friends, packing his bags, and making sure there would be no full moon in the week he'd be gone. The last thing he wanted to do was go berserk and ruin the entire trip for himself and the other guests.

"We will be landing in about five minutes. It is currently about thirty degrees in Pittsfield, so bundle up out there. Thank you for choosing Courage Airlines, and we hope that you fly with us again soon."

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a new horror SYOC presented by none other than me! So for this story, teenagers and young adults of supernatural origin are called to Trinity Heights, an old asylum, for purposes unknown. Something sinister lies underneath the promise of an enjoyable time, and it might just happen that our characters will have to fight for their lives to ever see the sun again...

This story is loosely based on Total Drama, mostly because it will involve a gameshow-esque competition. Before I get to the submission form, let me lay down a few rules:

1. No perfect characters! Also no overpowered OCs. I will not accept your character if they are.

2. Your character must be some kind of supernatural being (i.e. a sorcerer, vampire, angel, etc.) I encourage you to be creative with this!

3. I will be accepting a maximum of ten boys and ten girls. Please do not hate or complain if your character is not selected for the story.

4. Please review often, and, if necessary, give me critique! I will never be emotionally hurt if you have constructive advice for my stories!

5. Please use my submission form only for your OCs and please only pm your submissions, as I will not accept characters from the reviews!

6. You can see which characters are accepted in the cast list chapter. I will not be starting the official story until I have received every character

Now for the form!
