Kathryn
Four white walls. One single bed in the middle of it. Tiny window with built in cage.
Scary, scary, run.
I am not crazy.
I know I'm not. My dad might've told them I was, because this room looks like it's for extra crazy people.
I'm not even a tiny bit crazy.
My dad left as soon as he dropped me off and had a very serious talk with few nurses.
One of the few times he wasn't a total asshole.
Now I'm all alone.
They took my suitcase, my phone, and my sanity.
If I wasn't crazy, this room is sure making me be.
Minutes pass and I'm getting dizzy, bored, and hyperactive.
What am I supposed to do?
What can I do?
What will I do?
I'm lost, totally lost.
I sit down in the middle of the room, no chair, just on the floor. I don't care how dirty the stone floor is, I need some stability, and that cracky bed won't give me that.
I take a deep breath, one.
Then another one, two.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten.
Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine.
Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight.
Seven, Seven, Seven, Seven, Seven, Seven, Seven.
Six, Six, Six, Six, Six, Six.
Five, Five, Five, Five, Five.
Four, Four, Four, Four.
Three, Three, Three.
Two, Two.
One.
Then I do it all over again, and again, and again, and again, untill the door opens and tall, blonde walks in, with a friendly smile.
"Hey, Kat." She says, a little too happily, like I'm not going insane here. "I'm Anna, I'll be your nurse from now on."
I don't answer.
"It's time for bed," she helps me on the bed, and checked her Click board, "we have to run some tests tomorrow, so you have to get rest now."
She prepares a big needle, keeping that irritating smile on her face.
I jerk away when she tries to push the needle in my veins. She stares at me for a while, before shaking her head in disappointment, and putting the needle on the small nightstand next to the bed.
She starts to cage me on the bed by tying my wrists and ankles. "Hey!" I yell, trying my hardest to wiggle my way out, but no work. She is really strong.
"Just stay calm, Katie." She soothes, finishing up with caging me in, only to reach for the needle again.
Weakness won.
I clench my eyes shot as the warm liquid makes its way over my whole entire body, stopping at my throat and making it close to impossible for me to breath.
"Sweet dreams." Anna says, smiling at me, and leaving me alone in dimly lit room again. Closing- locking the door behind her.
My breathing slows, it's impossible to take a breath that reaches my lungs.
I try, and fail, again to free myself from ropes.
