Patient 2495 was outside my door. Or at least I think. He's been silent for over 5 minutes now. And I can't tell if he walked away or if he is still their.
"Why do you not fear me??"
"I guess it's because the one thing that scares me more then the people here is the asylum it's self. Everything here is too unusual and I don't trust it."
"So, you just want to make allies?"
"I guess if you want to put it that way? Yes."
Silence....
"Do you need me to get you anything from the outside?..."
"Uhhh... Oh! Can you print out a Morse code sheet for me?"
"Morse code?" The Russian accent really sticks out when he pronounce these words.
"Yes..."
"Alright... I'll talk to some "friendsss" to help me get a sheet without notice.."
"Thank you so much 2495!"
"Just one thing.."
"Sure anything!"
"Don't talk to me in public.. most likely this is going to be your new room here, all alone. So I'll only talk to you here. And only here!"
"Ok! I promise."
"Good. Now go to sleep. I don't need to hear you for the rest of the day!"
Two days pass . . . . .
Nurse
"Breath in— breath out—"
"Gahh!! Zzz!!"
Nurse
" I think that's enough leg exercises for today- we'll practice some more Tuesday."
The nurse gets up from the bed and places my cruches at my bed frame.
Dr.Smiles
"Knock-knock!! How's my special little patient doing?!?"
I bite my words back and barely lift my head to look at him.
"Good...."
Dr.
"GREAT!!! Ms. Bella child number #3476 requires your attention!"
Nurse
"Right away Doctor!"
The nurse leave the room leaving the door open for Dr. Smiles to come inside.
He walk in one foot at a time taking in the room as he enters. He whistles.
Dr.
"Nice room you got here. I see you've been keeping yourself busy while the months have gone by!!"
I mearly nod in response feeling very uncomfortable with a man doctor in my room, alone, in a very small 20x20ft room. Still paralyzed in my bed.
He sits on my bed.
Dr.
"I see you're still getting used to that new leg or yours! You shattered your leg pretty good on those stairs when you jumped down!!"
((How do I "shattered" my bones falling down 20 flights of stairs???? That's just one floor?? Break ya? Shattered????? Why would my bones be shattered??? I'm not weak. Fat ya. But weak bones?.... How could I shatter my bones so far that I'd need a new one???))
Dr. Smiles
"So still aren't able to walk ay?"
He puts a hand on my leg.
I breath in sharply
All modes of fight or flight kick in.
I think of a million things to do!
"I NEED A GLASS OF WATER!!!"
Dr. Smiles
"Hm?"
His smiles curves to the right a long with his head.
"I-I'm thirsty...."
Dr. Smiles
"Ah of course!! All that practicing can make fine girls like you very thirsty!!! I shall go get you some water!!!"
Like that he gets up and rushes out.
I breath out.
Terrified and shaking.
Tears in my eyes from so many signs of fears.
2495
"I'm impressed... That was quick thinking..."
"2495!.. w-what are you—?"
2495
"I live next door across the hall. I heard everything and saw this as a great chance to give you this..."
Stab walks into my room and hands me a sheet of paper with the Morse code alphabet on it to translate letters.
"The codes! Thank you so much!!"
2495
"I recommend you hide that under your pillow or something. If anyone finds out you have that sheet it will raise many of flags...
Can I ask you... What do you need the sheet for anyhow?"
"Oh! Uh I have a neighbor behind me who occasionally knocks behind me every few days I believe in Morse code. And I'd like to talk to them and figure out what they're asking—"
2495
"Wait... Did you say behind... You? Tapping in Morse code????"
"???yesss???"
For the first time I see 2495's face change. He thinks loud and hard. Facing away from me to speak softly in Russian to himself.
2495
"Do not! I repeat! Do. NOT! Respond back until I say so!!"
He closes the door behind me to I only assume to go back to his room.
"2495?...2495!!! Why should I!?!"
Yet he leaves me here in silence. To ponder... Who's behind me, in the next room?....
Don't forget to like and FOLLOW+ up for more Entries coming up soon!!!
"How are you liking it so far?"
"Any guesses of what's going on?"
Do you know what's
under the carpet?????
Don't forget to smile and enjoy the rest of your day! See you soon!!
