Experiments of Dr. parallax part 2

Vasu raised his eyebrows towards Anand. "....... who?"

Anand bits his lower lip as this is the wreaking nerve. "My- my grandmother." He clenched his jaw.

Vasu took a pause observing Anand's tender state. He spoke. "So you are telling me that you saw your grandmother killing your parents?"

Shutting his eyes in annoyance he spoke. "Yeah, yeah, I know that this sounds quite unrealistic as my grandmother always behaves so....So fucking nice in from of everyone." He frowned his eyebrows, glaring at nothingness.

A light image of his grandmother chattering with policemen after murdering his parents played in his mind. His lips moved upwards showing his disgust towards his grandmothers fake self.

"According to what you said...." Vasu's words brought back Anand from his imagination to the real world. He blinked looking towards his therapist.

".....The reason of your mental instability is you grandmother? But this doesn't explain your paralysis to me. How am I supposed to fit it in here?" Vash spoke leaning back on his chair.

Anand looked down towards the floor frowning his eyebrows as he thinks deep into Vasu's question. "I don't.....I-I don't know about my paralysis doctor but!" He exclaimed shifting his gaze towards Vasu. "I can tell you one more thing."

Vasu raised his eyebrows. "Which is?"

"I can confirm that my grandma saw me witnessing the murder." He spoke with determination in his eyes.

Vasu shakes his head lightly adjusting to Anand's words.

Anand opened his mouth again to speak but a sudden shock travelled through his body showing him a rough and unclear image of something.

He frowned his eyebrows as he saw image of 2 man standing in front of him with what looks like a fixing tool in their hands. But it was too unclear to say what he exactly saw.

Vash observed this sudden change in Anand's facial expression. He called out for him. "Anand? Anand?"

Flinching on Vasu's words, Anand came back to the reality and as soon as that the unclear image vanished from his head making him rethink what he just saw.

"Are you okay?" Vasu asked frowning in concern.

"Umm...... yeah. Yeah I am a-alright." Anand spoke as he gulped. "Umm m-my grandmother. Yeah we were talking about her."

Looking towards Vasu he spoke. "This disturbs me every time whenever I think about it. She knew! She knew that I was there! Still why she didn't kill me! I was the only eye witness. She even- she even came to me, picked me up, looked at me with so much love, as if-as if she didn't just kill my parents! She went with me to the police! She reported her own crime for God's sake! Why would someone-"

"Anand, Anand. Calm down." Vasu cut off the racing trail of thoughts of the young up putting a stop to them.

Blinking a few times, Anand breathed fast. Leaning back to his sofa chair, his body sinked peacefully in the soft material. He felt at ease.

"Anand, my question now is, why didn't you testify?"

Looking up at the ceiling man spoke. "How could I? I was aware of the fact that I don't have my parents anymore, no one is their for me but my grandma. I didn't want to lose her. Strange isn't it?" Anand scoffed.

"No!" Vasu exclaimed. "Our mind tends to do things which we can never figure out. You still wanted to stay with you grandma who was apparently the murderer of your parents. This is how our mind works. We can never understand this."

Leaning away from his chair, Anand looked at Vasu. "My mind....Is it doing all of this because.... umm.....You said earlier about my u-unstability.......Maybe it's because of that." He spoke before bitting his bottom lip from anxiety.

"Human mind works like that, Anand. Whether it's a mentally unstable person or a normal one. Mind tends to works strangely in everyone."

Anand shook his head lightly, denying. "This isn't helping." He whispered lightly but loud enough for Vasu to hear.

Vasu raised his eyebrow towards his patient's disturbed self.

Standing up from his chair Anand started running his hands inside the pockets of his worn out jeans. "I won't take any more of your time doctor. I don't thinking this therapy thing will help me anymore as I have more practical things to deal with." Taking out his hand from his pocket he opened his palm showing a bunch of notes and coins.

Placing them on the glass table of Vasu's office. He looked at his therapist for one last time. "Thanks for everything, doctor." And then he proceeded to go out of Vasu's office.

Vasu looked at the back of one of his most suspicious patient for the last time repeating his last words in his head. "Nobody ever thanked me like that."

Anand stumbled out of the building continuously cleaning the sweat from his face. He looked at the bright shinning sun, burning his skin up. "Fuck you, too." He cursed before clenching his jaw.

His hands move to his forehead in order to shield his face from the heat. It's when a shock wave run up to his body. It felt as if he heard a frequency or some sharp nerve tearing noise making him loose his conscious.

29-08-2059. 6:23 PM

He frowned his eyebrows, trying to open his eyes but he failed as the sudden contact with the bright light made him shut his eyes tight again.

He was gaining his conscious again. He finally opened his eyes.

Looking at his surrounding, he found out that he is hanged above from the ground, he can't move his hands or legs at all. He looked at his shoulders finding out that they were tethered to chains to keep him above from the ground.

He heard some ruffling noise as if someone is talking. He tried looking at his back searching for the owner of this voice.

Two man came in front of him talking to each other about something. One of them had a robotic arm in his hand. They were looking like some engineers.

Man started marching towards Anand holding the arm in his hand. He started attaching it with anand's body.

Anand screamed on this. "What the fuck are you even doing." He tried shaking himself away from the man but couldn't as he noticed that his body below the chest is missing. He isn't loosing any blood or it's not hurting anywhere. It's just that his body is missing.

Man breathed out in annoyance. "How come he is awake now?"

Other man sat down on the floor tightening a screw in what looks like a metalling shield. "Turn his switch off."

"Wait! Wait! No!!!" Anand exclaimed breathing heavily. "Tell me why am I here?? I was outside that clinic. How-"

"Shut up! We don't know about any clinic. You are based on a design modal by Dr. Parallax.In short made for wealthy one to entertain." First man spoke proceeding to attach the hand with Anand's body.

"M-Made?" Anand asked. His breathing was unstable. He was scared, confused. He couldn't understand anything.

"Yeah, we just made you 40 minutes ago." Man spoke.

"40 minutes? Are you kidding me? My wife and my kids-"

Man turned the power off
