Insanity

Animal Cannibal

I woke up an hour ago. Everyone said I was out for at least five hours. But for some reason when I awoke I couldn't find Henry anywhere. I thought it was odd. Maggie and William had left Henry to watch over me as I slept, but when they came back he was nowhere to be seen. I was confused by it too, but shrugged it off. There was an odd smell inside of the break room after that. Like someone cooked some kind of meat, but everything was empty.

I went back to my room and noticed I wasn't hungry. Which was odd... Yeah it's only been five hours since I ate last, but I expected more of a backlash. This was odd because there's also a strange taste in my mouth. Not sure how to describe it... Maybe if I try to remember what happened in the break room earlier.

"Copper?"

I shook my head and looked up towards Coke. She's still in the tube.

"Uh, are you okay?" She'd ask.

"Yes, why do you ask?" I'd respond.

"We'll you look off. Your eyes have a slight red around the edges like they're bloodshot. Your fingertips are also a faint deep red as well." Coke said, muttering slightly.

"Really?" I'd ask, walking over to the tube to examine my reflection.

I stared into it and confirmed that my eyes were indeed bloodshot. My hands I hadn't noticed before. I shrugged it off.

"Not sure about my hands, but my eyes are most definitely from lack of sleep. No need to worry, Coke!" I'd say.

She nodded but still gave me a look of worry.

I walked to my desk and sat down, pulling the glass tablet towards me to log certain things about Coke and check all of her vitals.

"Hey, Collymor?"

I looked up from the tablet, seeing Maggie standing in the doorway. She looked uncomfortable and distraught.

"Maggie? Are you okay?" I'd ask, instantly standing up.

"We were looking around the break room- we found some disturbing things." She'd say, backing up slightly.

I tilted my head and followed her as she led me to the break room. She stayed silent as she walked down the hall. Maggie wasn't acting like her usual self.

"I brought him, William." Maggie said, her voice low and filled with sorrow.

I looked at her with a worried glance and was grabbed by my sweater and shoved against a wall.

"Gah!"

"What did you do to Henry?" William said, holding me to the wall.

"What do you mean?! I was asleep the entire time!" I'd say, grabbing onto his wrists.

"Collymor, please tell us the truth-"

I looked over at Maggie and noticed tears falling from her eyes. I frowned, feeling guilty for something I didn't do.

"Maggie.. Maggie I am! I promise I don't know what happened to Henry!" I'd say, my voice desperate.

"Look at me, Collymor. We found only bits and pieces of him hidden through the room. His head was in the fucking freezer!" William said, lifting me off the ground and higher onto the wall.

I kicked slightly, holding onto his wrists tighter.

"You were the only one with him the entire time! Sure there aren't cameras in here but there ARE OUT THERE!" William yelled slightly.

"I- I didn't do anything!" I'd cough.

"NO ONE LEFT OR ENTERED AFTER US! IT HAD TO OF BEEN YOU!!" William screamed.
