CHAPTER TWELVE DARK PARADISE

Bali can be heaven one minute and hell in the next. You live the

fantasy, you live the dream, but one day you wake up. And that day

you wake up, you don't know where you will wake up, what sort

of hell.

- Alberto

People come here and think it's a paradise for sure, but it becomes hell,

really, really quickly.

- Andre

With his eyes covered, Alberto crouched in the car, scared and vulnerable, desperately trying to focus on every zig and zag to keep track of where they were taking him. But it was futile. He quickly lost his bearings and when they stopped about 45 minutes later, he had a vague sense they were near Ubud - renowned as the peaceful, hippy heart of Bali, ironic considering what he was about to experience.
