Finally, they accepted my application. I had to find a job to feed myself as I don't had a wife yet, I'm not interested in relationships whatever. Tomorrow is Monday, so I guess tomorrow will be my first day doing my job at the asylum. I had no choice to be a caretaker role in that place, people there are mentally insane and I hope I can deal with them.

Next Day.

Today is the day, I had to get dressed up quickly so I can arrive early. Its 5am in the morning, I can't sleep well which I overthink about what's gonna happen later. Hopefully the asylum itself opens at 5am, or is it 24 hours? I got up from the bed, brushed my teeth, ate a bread and get dressed. I wore a my favourite formal clothing, I do say I look like a gentleman in a decent way..

Time skip to the arrival.

This place is insanely huge, I don't know if I will ever get lost in there. I kinda wish I know the path, therefore I had bad memory so that might be a problem to me. I walked in the asylum, everything seems to be.. quiet. No one is at the lobby whatsoever, all I smell is a huge strong of blood. I turned around to see if there's someone near my surroundings, unfortunately there was none. All of a sudden, someone touched my shoulder and I quickly grab the hand of theirs.

"Oh hello, you must be.. Mr.Vincent?" said by a man.

I stood there in silence trying to think why did he know my name, he also look a bit creepy with that smile he had right now. He look a little bit concerned about me, that look he gave me is like those kind of puppy who wanted attention.

"I am the director of Wales Of Reston, you do know me from the postcard I send to you. Names Thomas, nice to meet you Mr.Vincent." he said in a smiley way.

"Sorry for not knowing who you are, I don't even get to see your face at the first place Thomas." I replied him with little anger.

He then used his right hand and gently grabbed my waist, I felt goosebumps when he land his hands on my waist. I'm wondering, that this director is interested in men huh, I asked myself. He showed me to the path of the asylum, it's too complicated for me to remember the path I will be needed to head to take care of the patients or whatsoever. There was no one in the lobby, not even a security or nurse taking care of their patients. Speaking of which, I don't see a woman here. All I see is men, that's great because I somehow hate women and I believe hate in first sight.

"There we are, we have arrived. This is the place where patient sleeps and eat, please take care of them and check on them daily. We don't want our patients to be hurt." Thomas said.

I gagged, the place smell too stinks. It just smelled like you dump a bunch of dead bodies to a same place and immaculate the smell. As I hate smelling these kind of things, no choice so I had to go through it every single day. I hope I can take it until Im done with this nasty job I'm doing now, taking care of someone is not a good thing for me as I never take care of someone in my life nor my parents.

"Anything just find me okay? Also please take this camera, it will be needed soon. I'm not going to stay with you everytime, I will be waiting at my own office room. It's somewhere near here, don't worry. You will be alright." he smiled.

I nodded, I took the camera. He does look like he's interested in me. This asylum include no women, no wonder why he's interested in men instead of women. He backed off afterwards and left the patient room, I was there alone at the time he left. All I hear is nothing, I see no patients at all. Honestly, there was someone in the patient room. I heard someone randomly yells for no reason so I had to quickly check what the fuck happened. This place is really driving me crazy since I stepped on this floor, the place is also dirty.

I checked the patient room, there was a dude who dressed like he's a homeless man can't afford a clothing. He slowly turned around and looked at me directly in my eyes, he looked so exhausted that his eyes has turned incredibly red.

"this place is my home.. he's here with us.. that's what we needed.." the patient said calmly.

I was confused of what he's talking about, what do they mean by "he"? Is it a person or just some random shit characters they created in their brain, since they are mentally crazy I guess it's just their imagination. I ignored him and left him there alone, that was the only patient I could find. I explored some places, the smell is getting worst each time I travel to each different rooms.

"BANG!" coming from behind me, but behind me is a wall. I got startled by it, due to my curiosity I had to check what the fuck is going on in this place. Patient here is really aggressive, beating their own mates too? Gosh, I hate doing my job here. The room is kinda dark, so I decided to use the camera as Thomas gave me earlier. I slowly opened the door, silently checking my surroundings. I thought it was just someone from the upper floor banging the floor or walls, I left the room I was in earlier and I tried to find some patients.

"There you are, you retarded man!" shouted by a man.

I turned around and all I see is a person who's likely to be inhuman. His body is covered in blood, holding a big ass axe and growling aggressively. I retreated as soon as he try to get me, running as fast as I could and trying not to look back which that will causes my anxiety worst. There's a neaby locker in the room I just entered, I hid in there till the killer arrives.

"I can smell you, your scent smells so sweet." the killer said.

My heartbeat has never been increased in a rapid way like this, all I could think is to get out of here. I think he is one of the patient, gone crazy probably. Holding my camera trying not to make it drop due to my hands are sweaty, covering my mouth with my left hand. I have never been so scared, even if people say I'm a pussy.

He left the room, I opened the locker quietly so he wouldn't know I got out from the room that he entered earlier. I ran back to where I left the room, I am lost. I'm so fucked up, now I have been consumed by the darkness. My camera is still a half way to its own death, Thomas doesn't gave me extra batteries. Guess I will check every rooms to find the batteries for my camera to work or else I barely even survive in this madness without lights.

"Fuck, where the fuck am I? Didn't I left here before? The exit was just right there, how could it went to another position? Shit, I fucked up so bad I hate this place I had to get out of here."
