Dark side

5

I am on the gravel staring into the cloudless sky in wonder, amazed at how bright it is.

I lay there bleeding my guts out, about to pass out cold by blood loss, and I'm thinking about the sky.

I try to shake my head in funny disbelief, but my neck is already stiff.

My vision was growing blurry, but through the black spots appearing on the edges I could see the sign of the building I had been imprisoned in for nearly 2 months.

I was shocked for a moment before I put the pieces together. And laughed and laughed and laughed.

Laughed until my heart quite literally gave out and I drowned on my own blood. My eyes were stuck staring at the sign above me.

St. James Asylum.

I was free...

...and then I was dragged back to hell.
