I was an admit to Mayhaven Asylum.


My parents neglected my two elder siblings and I since shortly after my oldest brother was born.


By the time people around were making suspicions, things had been long over.

My parents were guilty of murder suicide in the offense of my two siblings and attempt at myself, but-"

The ivory haired youth looked upward with sullen grey eyes. Lips chapped, face stripped of color, they rolled their eyes back in their head.

"I was frighteningly sick from radiation poisoning," they explained, "I did not eat. My siblings passed after their last meal."


"They only found me, amongst my family in a pool of blood. My nightgown, soaked. They could not draw any... other.. conclusion.


It was me or it was a lost case." Their teeth were clenched.


I have been here for years.

All I need," they continued, voice wavering, "is just. A little. Help."

Their face could be seen through their cell- block window in the door, young grey eyes peering out to the deep, intricate prison that was Mayhaven Asylum.
