Sinbury Screams!

The knock wakes up Simon in his blue padded cell. His head is feeling from last night and the dream he had was nothing usual, at least he thought.

The cell hatch opens up and the ward nurse announces the ward doctor is ready to see him for a ward round. The nurse says, "If you are feeling stable and sound for our visit let us know."

Simon turns around under the blanket and nods his head. His eyes are feeling drowsy, he can open the lids of his eyes to see them.

The doctor walks in the blue room after nurses secure the safe space to talk with their patient Simon. Doctor says, "I heard you last night had some trouble sleeping and caused an emergency state in our facility."

"It was black magic."

"I am sure it was. I would like to know more about it.", says the doctor, nodding his head to the nurse taking her notes. But Simon refuses to talk more and closes his eyes. He faces the other side of the room and falls fast asleep.

Meanwhile, our friend Ignacius is just settling down and not wanting to lose time is gathering information from the mental health ward he is located just a floor above Simon is captive.

He asks many questions but cannot establish any truth further from irrational talks he is having with his fellow captives in Sinbury Hospital.

Until he meets Marciuszawa, the student who is for violent behaviour for breaking several laws including anti-social behaviour, body harm and resisting arrest.

He was breaking conditions of bail. The courthouse held him to establish why he was keen enough not to comply and was on a law-breaking spree, increasing his chance to be detained further.

They found common ground after a couple cups of tea and a packet of cigarettes they smoked on the ward balcony. He understood it was taboo for male patients to learn what was in the female ward, causing more causes for concerns.

It took a couple days after they parked the thunder truck in a hangar outside Sinbury plains for Mage to establish local support to rescue his fellow teammates from being held captive under courthouse order.

Detective Simpleton pointed him to look for student Daku Stix in the local bar. He felt like in a pub crawl, but when he was about to give up with Bob and Dylan, the luck had made its way.

Daku Stix was philosophy faculty student, spending most of his evenings in union bars before heading out to illegal students' garage fights to earn his title after graduation as King of Hades, in Greek mythology known as underworld for dead.

He and his fellow students were now in the second year of their degree exchanging fists with their fierce rivals from law faculty. But he was having problems because they detained one of his fellows in Sinbury Asylum, and he was eager enough to set him free.

Mage walks in and sits down at the bar. He asks for a double shot of whiskey with no ice. The barman pours a glass and passes to Mage, he twists whiskey glass and pours some in his throat.

"I heard you are in your second year, Stix. I think we have some common ground here to talk business."

"I think you should go where you came from", said Stix.

"I know Marciuszawa's story and who is behind it but I am happy enough to aid you in breaking him out of that shat hole they call Hospital."

Stix orders his fellow students to sit back. He then offers a drink to Mage and asks him to step outside alone to smoke a cigarette with him in case they forge common ground.
