It was a play of light, and sounds, and smells of lopsided tents, striped like candy, and laughter, the explosions of which, like cannon shots, came from the paths winding between the tents. Miracles lay in wait at every step. A man was standing on the dais, spewing flame. There was a sweet and heavy aroma of toasted cakes and popcorn in the air. Tantalizing at first, he quickly became nauseous. And in the very last tent was a man with a long beard. He promised neither riches nor curiosities. He did not even offer to look into the future. No. This man in the last tent promised the only thing that the little boy wanted more than anything in the world.

Control.

“Guys, you won't believe me Dan typed and shook his head at the monitor. - “ Memory Manipulation Specialist? Is it even possible? Anyway, just watch the video and let me know what you think!»

His cursor hovered over the last sentence - horror was all too clear in it. Well, let. Dan was really starting to get overwhelmed by real horror. The last three letters went unanswered, and he wasn't sure if Abby and Jordan were still reading them.

He pressed the "Submit" button.

Dan leaned back in his chair and twisted his neck, listening to the soft crunch of vertebrae. Then he closed the laptop, perhaps a little abruptly, and stood up, shoving the computer into a briefcase between papers and folders. He had barely had time to put everything down and walk out the library door into the lobby when the bell rang.

The students walked in a crowd along the long corridor. Dan spotted several people in his calculus class and they waved to him when he caught up with their lockers. Missy, a short brunette with a scattering of freckles on the bridge of her nose, adorned her locker door with all the stickers and postcards from “ Doctors Who”That she only managed to get hold of. A lanky kid named Tariq was pulling books out of the closet next door, and next to him was the shortest guy in the twelfth grade, Beckett.

“Hi Dan,” Missy said. “We missed you at lunch. Where did you run away?

“Oh, I was in the library,” Dan said. - It was necessary to finish something on literature.

“You have to prepare so much for these lessons,” Beckett sighed. - I'm glad I limited myself to English.

- When you approached, Dan, we were just discussing " Macbeth". Are you going to go?

“Uh-huh, I heard that the troupe is just excellent,” Tariq said, slamming the locker shut with a clang.

- I didn’t even know that we are being staged “ Macbeth Dan wondered. - Is it something like a drama club?

- Yes, and Annie Cy is involved. This is quite enough not to miss the show.

Beckett chuckled meaningfully at the guys, and Dan smiled back faintly as the group walked down the hallway. Dan didn’t remember what lessons the rest of the company had now, but if he hadn’t really been preparing for classes in the library, he was now actually heading upstairs to the literature study. She was not his favorite subject, but Abby read most of the books on the list and promised to somehow retell their contents to him, which made the task somewhat easier.

“We ought to go,” said Tariq. He was wearing a sweater three sizes over his own and skinny jeans. This gave him a distant resemblance to a Chinese dummy. - Dan, come with us. I'll try to get free tickets. I am familiar with the chief technician.

- I do not know. To be honest, I've never been a big fan. " Macbeth". For people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder like me, this play really hurts too much for a living, ”Dan said calmly, furiously rubbing a nonexistent stain on the sleeve of his jacket.

Missy and Tariq, as if on cue, stared at him in amazement.

- Remember? He smiled faintly. - "Get out, damn spot ..."?

- Oh, is it from the play? - specified Tarik.

- Well, yes ... It's kind of like one of the most famous lines.

He frowned. Abby and Jordan would have understood him immediately. And he was sure that “ Macbeth"Is included in the list of mandatory reading for everyone, without exception.

- In general, okay. See you later.

Dan separated from the group and began to climb the stairs. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he sent Jordan and Abby the same messages: “No one here takes my humor. Save! " Twenty minutes later, when he was bored in class, Jordan still hadn't answered, and Abby had sent in an indifferent "Ha ha ha."

What happened? Where have gone his friends? This is not to say that they are so busy ... Just last week, Jordan told him in a Facebook chat about how insanely boring he has to do. He said that after the preparatory program at New Hampshire College, studying was not difficult for him, and therefore not interesting. Dan sympathized with him, but to be honest, the class was the last thing he remembered from his summer in New Hampshire. What didn’t go out of his mind was an incident in their hostel, Brooklyn, a former psychiatric clinic run by the wacky head physician Daniel Crawford.

If he didn't think about this a little episode, he thought about Jordan and Abby. When they left, at first the guys constantly sent him text messages and emails. But now they barely spoke. He thought Missy, Tariq and Beckett were good guys, but Jordan and Abby were different. Jordan knew his weaknesses and knew how to put pressure on them, but he always did it completely without malice and only amused the whole trio. If Jordan went too far, Abby was always in a hurry to put him in his place and restore his balance. She really was the soul of their little company and the inspiration for a relationship that Dan felt was worth maintaining.

So why are his friends ignoring him now?

Dan almost groaned as he glanced at his watch. Two more hours before the end of the lessons. Only two hours later will he be able to run home and go online to see if his friends want to chat.

He sighed and slid into a lower chair, reluctantly tucking his phone into his pocket.

It was hard to believe that such a dangerous place like Brooklyn had brought them closer, and ordinary life only moved them apart.

Next to the laptop was a plate of half-eaten peanut butter sandwich. At his feet lay a history textbook, which had already begun to be covered with leaves. Usually the crisp autumn air helped him concentrate, but instead of doing his homework, he went headlong into studying his Brooklyn file. After completing the preparatory courses, Dan made sure to organize his notes, research results, and collected photographs into one neat file.

The book "Return to the Shelter" by the famous modern writer Madeline Roux is a continuation of the first part of the story about Dan and his friends, described in the book "Shelter". The second novel gives answers to many questions, tells in more detail about the past, while adding new secrets, questions, riddles.

When Dan went to a private college some time ago, he found new friends there, with whom he still has a strong friendship. The guys learned that their college used to be a psychiatric hospital, where especially dangerous criminals were kept. Friends had nightmares, they heard some voices, and began to try to reveal the secret of this place.

A year ago, the guys returned home, they thought that this whole story was over. But they still have strange dreams that terrify. They cannot forget what happened last summer. Each of them receives a creepy photo with a scary caption. Dan, Abby and Jordan decide that they can only get rid of their fears there, and go to college. Now they are again surrounded by gloomy corridors and rooms, depressing atmosphere, terrifying memories. But they think they must face their fear.

Arriving at the place, the friends understand that this will not only prevent an end with last year's nightmare, but also involve them in new strange and wild adventures. The orphanage has its own secrets that Dan must unravel together with his friends. What is there that haunts a guy even from a distance?

The narrative is accompanied by frightening photographs that help to feel the atmosphere of a former psychiatric hospital. This book tells more about the past of the hospital itself, about what happened within its walls, how Dan and the doctor Crawford are connected. The novel will evoke a lot of emotions and will be remembered for a long time.

Prologue

It was a play of light, and sounds, and smells of lopsided tents, striped like candy, and laughter, the explosions of which, like cannon shots, came from the paths winding between the tents. Miracles lay in wait at every step. A man was standing on the dais, spewing flame. There was a sweet and heavy aroma of toasted cakes and popcorn in the air. Tantalizing at first, he quickly became nauseous. And in the very last tent was a man with a long beard. He promised neither riches nor curiosities. He did not even offer to look into the future. No. This man in the last tent promised the only thing that the little boy wanted more than anything in the world.

« Guys,you won't believe me Dan typed and shook his head at the monitor. - “ Memory Manipulation Specialist? Is it even possible? Howbeit,just watch the video and let me know,what do you think of it!»

I didn’t even know that we were playing " Macbeth Dan wondered. - Is it something like a drama club?

Yes, and Annie Cy is involved. This is quite enough not to miss the show.
