Along Came a Murderer

After Hours

I hadn't eaten anything in, I don't know... 3 days? I was too exhausted to move, and my ankles were in pain from the chains. I was laying down in my corner, feeling helpless.

I look up when I hear the door open. A nurse walked in. "You're not gonna strangle me, are you?" She sarcastically said. I laid my head back down.

She walked over to me with a tray. "Ok, crazy. Time to take your meds."

"I'm not taking your poison." She sighed. "Look, buddy. I don't enjoy this either. I'm just trying to do my job. And I would appreciate it if you'd actually cooperate for once."

I just ignored her. "Well, you asked for this." She walked back over to her cart and pulled out a needle. "Ok, Alice. It's either the pill, or the needle."

I rolled over and stood up. I was tangled in my chains. I tried to take a step forward but I tripped and fell. She turned away and laughed. "Oh, haha. Just gimme the damn pill."

She walked over to me and put the pill in my mouth and gave me some water. "See? That wasn't so bad. Since you've been a good boy, so you get to play with your friends."

I looked up at her in confusion. "Lady, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about."

She dropped the happiness. "You get to spend time with the other patients." I sat up. "Are you serious? I'm not going in there with those people. I'm nothing like them."

"So you'd rather stay in here? Ok." She grabbed her cart and backed out. "Wait!" She turned around and smiled. "Yes?"

"I guess I wouldn't mind at least some type of freedom." She moved out of the way, as 2 guards unlocked me from my chain. "If you pull anything, you'll be out faster than a burning match." I nodded, and they took me to the "Play Room".

They opened the doors and shoved me in. I looked up to see all these people staring at me. I stood up and walked over to the window, to try and remember what the outside looks like. I could hear someone whispering about me.

They're scared of you. Take this as an advantage. I turned around and still, everyone was staring at me. "W-what?"

Everyone flinched. So... They are scared of me. I walked over to the couch and sat down. Everyone on the couch shot up and backed away. I watched tv as they were worried that I'd end up killing them. I'm not that person anymore. I haven't killed anyone in 3 days.

I then remembered how hungry I was. I walked over to the counter, and asked for something to eat. They gave me some eggs. I sat back down and devoured them. I was still hungry.

I walked back over to the counter, and explained to the lady, that I hadn't eaten in 3 days, and I am very hungry. I tried to sound as polite as possible. She gave me more eggs and a bag of pretzels. I sat down at the table and ate.

I then saw that a guy had walked by my table and took my pretzels. "Hey! Give those back!" I tried to reach for them, but he opened them and shoved them all in his mouth.

I tried to stay calm, but that was extremely rude. I grabbed my paper plate and crumbled it up. I walked over to the guy and shoved the paper plate down his throat. "I hope that was worth it, jerk!"

He coughed and stumbled over. The other patients were shaking. I grabbed the back of his neck and bashed his head against the table. The patients started screaming. My cover has been blown.

The guards bursted in and the first person they looked at is me. "Oh crap." I dropped the man and started running away, I didn't want something terrible to happen again. One of the guards cornered me. He grabbed me, but I bit him as hard as I could. I drew blood from his arm, and he let go. I punched him about 5 times when I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

I turned around and saw that I had been injected with something. I started feeling extremely dizzy and fell on the floor. Then everything went black.
