"Miss. Hewitt the people find you guilty of the murder of Tanner Corwin. The people have death penalty but before you will serve five months in St. Judy mental institution." the judge slammed the gavel down. The short trip to St. Judy was silent the only thing you heard was the bu engine. When Lynna arrived guard lied up around her blocking her view of the institution. The first thing she noticed about the place was the smell of it. The smell of bleach and burning hair. The next thing was the sounds. Screams, crying, yelling, people begging and pleading. Lynna was so takne back by what she smelled and heard she didn't realize they were at her "room". The guard throw her on the ground like a rag doll. The ground was hard and cold. Lynna lead there until someone came in the room.
"Get up now." Barked a nurse in a white hat, dress apron and white sneakers. the nurse's stormy eye had a look of revulsion. The nurse throw a set of cloths on the ground next to Lynna. "My name is Mrs. Smith and that is what you WILL call me. You will receive two meal a day breakfast and dinner. Eight glasses of water and a new set of clothes everyday. Today you are going to meet with Miss. Bing. Now change than i will take you to her." Mrs. Smith walked out of the room. In Miss Bing office there was a oak desk three chairs and a huge bookshelves over flowing with books and binders. The walls were eggshell white, the carpet was a tan color and the window had bars on them.
"Hello Lynna , I'm Miss. Bing. As you know you are here for the manslaughter of Tanner Corwin. You will be held here until your exaction date." Miss. Bing said sorrowful. I just nodded my head. "Well then...um i'm suppose to tell you that you get to choose how they do it. Lethal injection or by hanging. You have four months to think it over than one month to prepare." The words cam out uneasily.
