This place is like a never ending white tunnel, carrying on and on the further we walk. Me, Papa, Peter and a few other nurses get to the testing room and there's a big white table in the middle of the room. "Sit down at the table, number 3." Dr Brenner instructed. I reach for the chair and sit down. "Do you know what we're doing here?" Dr Brenner asks sitting down next to me as Peter reaches for the blindfold. I shake my head "No Papa". The room filled with an uncomfortable tension. Dr Brenner looks straight at Peter with no emotion crossing his face, "Blind fold her." He says. As Peter blindfolds me, I can feel his breath down my neck making me shiver.

Dr Brenner looks down at the hair standing up on my arms. "Thanks you Peter, you've done enough" he says looking at me. I hear the door open and close, Peter must've left. "There's a can placed somewhere on the table, find it and crush it." Dr Brenner says with anger standing up. I focus, trying to pick up where the can is. I hear Dr Brenner whisper something in the background, something about teaching somebody a lesson. I pull my mind back to the can, finding it, crushing it with ease."Well done. On second thought lessons will be pushed to another day. Take her to her room." Dr Brenner sounded angry. I pull the blind fold from my face and start walking to the door.

Walking down the hall I hear screaming, which sounds way to familiar. I hear a door open and look back immediately. "Is that.." the words slipped out my mouth. The nurse turns around, panic spreading across her face. "It's nothing you should concern yourself with. C'mon before you get yourself in trouble". It's Peter. Being dragged out.

I turn around, continuing to walk with the nurse

I turn around, continuing to walk with the nurse. I look back a last time seeing his feet disappear around the corner. That's what Papa was talking about..
