Insanity: Sacred Truth

Chapter 8

I felt dead on the inside. Day after day, procedure after procedure, it was just awful. They would inject me, make my limbs go numb to the point I am just a dead person breathing. They probed me, they studied me, they exploited me. All done in silence. I was so weak that all I had left was my conscious. I would spend days staring at the ceiling, hoping, wishing, slowly dying. I refused to sleep. Sleeping in this place only brings for nightmares which slowly kill me mentally. I am exhausted. I need to be free. 

I felt as though I was slowly losing my mind. The only place I have known were these plain, dull walls. The walls that are making me want to go insane. Everyday in this room, I would be escorted to the bathroom by the other nurse. I would be laid down on my bed, vulnerable to what was going to happen next. More pills, more injections. They were slowly killing me. I just knew it. I was a nuisance to this world because of my 'condition' and so they were slowly turning me into nothing but a body with space on the inside. Empty, void, lacking of any human responses.

Nurse Piper entered the room with the usual wide smile on her face. I saw her eye twitching as she approach which I chose to ignore at the time. It wasn't worth the trouble to analyze her, knowing full well me getting to know her was not going to be to my benefit.

"You know Samantha, you are suppose to be getting better. I don't even think you are trying. All of this time we have been trying to help you. You have to work with us you know." She flashed me her pearly white teeth. Her smile was put off and it was freaking me out ever so quickly. She almost looked as if she needed to be in my place. 

"I don't like failing patients Samantha. You are not going to be my first nor are you going to be my last. Just remember that. Your procedure starts soon so get some rest before then." With that she turned on her heel and walked out of the room. Locking the door behind her, I was left in the peace of my room. The room that is more like a prison to me than anything else.

I needed to find a way out. I needed to. I stared up at the ceiling and contemplated my options. I couldn't hide from the injections they gave me to paralyze me while I am going through the procedures. I could always hide the pill but that still wouldn't do anything since I had to take a shot. All of the odds were against me. I had to do something and fast. I suppose I have no other choice....

I stared up at the ceiling until nurse Piper came back into the room with the wheel chair. She had the same wide smile on her face that I was able to see right through. The other nurse helped her get me into the wheel chaired and from there I was whisked away. The hallways are never ending. Everywhere you turn, there they were. They were mocking. They were letting you know that you were trapped, with no option of escape. But I would find a way. I had to.

As I was wheeled into the procedure room, I was grabbed and laid down on a table. My body didn't feel real, it felt as though I was in it but I was not able to work with it. I was staring straight up at the light that blinded my vision. I heard movement near my side but I paid it no mind. I had to plan this out wisely if I was going to be free.

I saw from the side of my vision that the doctor was approaching with a syringe while the nurses stepped out of the room. I used all the strength I could muster to ball of my fist. I needed him to get closer. 

"Okay Samantha, we are going to take it slow today. We are going to be collecting more data from your blood stream." The doctor drew near my arm and I took my opportunity. I took a deep breath and swung my right fist into his stomach, resulting in him falling to his knee and grasping his stomach.

I took more deep breaths and tried to move more of my body parts. My legs twitched a little but that is the only reaction I was getting. I was running out of time. I had to do something and quick. I was coated in sweat as I tried to move my legs. I got one leg off of the table and my body followed.
