The Invitation Oliver Dodson

If you received an invite to a manor to meet unknown students for a week as a break from studying, would you go?
Ri is excited to getting away from the bustle of university life. Take a break from the city and just relax. Her first impression of Lodham Manor is isolation and despair. Her break was far from relaxing... Years later, an interesting email arrives in Billie's inbox she is both intrigued and frightened. Her anxiety prevents her from staying at her university longer than a day so she has become accustomed to commuting back and forth. However, she decides to risk it and accept the invitation.

After a few months of waiting, planning and packing the day has finally arrived when she is to depart on a trip that was meant to change her life for the better. It changed it for the worse. Alone and afraid at the derelict and foreboding Lodham Manor, Billie descends into near madness as troubling happenings begin to occur. Happenings that would stay with her, long after she had left.

A dark and isolating tale that pits the strength of an overwhelmed student against forces she never used to believe in.
