It wasn't until five the next morning when Winnie came around, banging on each and every door to wake the patients for breakfast. I nearly jumped out of bed, rushing to the door as if I haven't eaten for days. I waited patiently for the large guard to come to my door.
"Wow. You're ready to eat, ain't you?"
He asked in a heavy accent, giving a one-toothed smile through the bars on the door.
"Y-Yes sir.."
I said quietly as he unlocked the door and let me out. I rushed to the cafeteria and was surprisingly one of the firsts in line. Once I had gotten all my food, I sat down at one of the tables in the back with a guy I've only talked to once. Everybody calls him 'Shaker' because of his uncontrollable shaking.
I sat down, watching the male in the straightjacket struggle to feed himself.
"Here, let me help you."
I grabbed a spoon and started to feed him his eggs, sitting close to make sure he'd get every spoonful.
Without any warning, Neston comes over and throws Shaker's tray across the room.
"Feed your own damn self! Don't get this little whore to feed you!"
He slaps Shaker, causing the entire room to grow quiet. I didn't realize what I was doing as I stood up and grabbed the guard's wrist, pulling him down roughly, almost breaking it. In a fit of rage, I lunged for him only to be caught by Donovan.
"Why do you guards bully us! We don't do anyth-"
Before I knew it, I was thrown into my room, landing on the floor with a loud thud. I looked up at the tall dark man, fear spread throughout my body.
"You're staying in here until you learn how to control yourself."
Donovan then slams the door shut, leaving me in a dark room.
