The day is December 12th 2017, as the mental hospital closes and patients are being transferred to other hospitals, one man sees a possible way to the outside world. This man is Bryce Johnson, who was put into the hospital because he killed his Aunt on April 19th, 1997. Bryce wants to get out, 20 years has been too long for him. He is put in his new room right away and he instantly starts to look for a way out. He sees that he has a window above his bed that is covered by a board and begins to looks for a way to pry the board off of the window. He later receives his lunch meal and the tray he got it on was metal. Bryce didn’t bother with the food and tried to pry the board off of the window with the tray. It worked...
On the night that Bryce escaped, it was very cold and rainy. He didn’t know where he was at first and began to wander. He walked for miles before he saw someone. Bryce asked the person where he was and he said Hallowell, Bryce’s first thought was “Oh God, how am I ever going to make it to Bangor from here with no car and no money.”
Bryce decides to hit the road again now that he has enough food to last awhile. He found a map at a nearby gas station and is using that to find his way home. About halfway through his journey, near Palmyra, he was walking and large gust of wind blew right at him and blew his map away. Since he no longer knew where to go, he cam across an abandoned car and decided to sleep in it.
He makes it to his parents house and starts to find a way in. He sees an open window on the second story. He climbs up the front porch and makes it onto the roof. Bryce pries the window open the rest of the way and gets into the house. He is in his old bedroom where there is a sword that he was given from his grandfather from World War One. He grabs the sword, just incase he needs to use it. He opens his parents bedroom door and see that they are sleeping. He gently closes the door and heads to the kitchen.

Once Bryce removed the piece of wood over the window he saw that the actual window was broken. He took the food tray and broke what was left of the window so that he wouldn’t cut himself on the way out. He looked out the window to see if he could survive the fall and then sees that he is on the 3rd story. Bryce assumes he won’t get hurt and crawls out the window and jumps. He has a severe pain in his left leg after landing, Bryce thinks he broke his leg. He wants to go to his parents house first, because he is angry at them for not paying his bail of $150,000 when they are multi-millionaires and payed his brother’s bail when he went to jail for nearly the same crime
. Bryce decides the most important thing for him to do is to find a temporary place to live. He keeps wandering and finds an old abandoned fort and makes the decision to stay there for a few nights. He wants to move on once he has enough food to last him a couple of days. He searches garbage cans, begs people on the streets, and even stole some items to make sure he’d be alive long enough to accomplish his task.
Bryce wakes from his rest and decides that he needs to finish his tip to Bangor today. He finds some cash that a pedestrian must’ve dropped. He uses the extra cash to get a cab ride as close to Bangor as he can. He makes it almost all the way there in the cab. He is only about 3 miles away. Bryce figures it might take him between 30 minutes to an hour for him to make it the rest of the way of he walks. He finally makes it to his parents neighborhood.
When he gets to the kitchen he starts the gas stove and begins to put pieces of paper on the flame. Bryce finds anything and everything flammable in the house and begins to place it around the fire. He leaves the house and is never seen again. The house is burnt down within 3 hours of the start of the fire.
