Alice was walking to her dorm and right as she was passing a tunnel a man grabbed her and brutally raped her in the tunnel that led to an old amphitheatre. Alice eventually made it back to her room where all her roommates were and they took her to the hospital. After that they told the police what had happened and the police told her that she was “lucky” because, a week ago a girl had been raped and killed in that exact tunnel where alice was raped.
