Along Came a Murderer

Restless Night

"What are we going to do? We obviously can't let him get out anymore, and we can't let him escape." The word escape filled my head. I was pretending to be asleep, since I didn't want to be knocked up on laughing gas, or black out from a needle. The door to my cell was wide open, and I could probably try to escape again. I quietly sat up and ran out as fast as I could.

"Block ever exit, now!" I went down to the lobby and broke the vent open, and crawled inside. I made my way to where Steven and I escaped. "Turn the air on! He's in the vents!" My eyes open wide as a cold breeze starts going. Oh, crap. I'm gonna freeze to death.

I ran as fast as I could as the air began to get colder and colder. Pretty soon, I hit another vent exit. I kicked it open. "Where am I now?" I jumped down and landed on something. It was that guy I drowned in the bathroom. They just left him here?! The toilet was filled with blood and other body fluids. I ran out door until I finally found the back exit, with the same sleeping guard. I snuck in, but the guard woke up. I grabbed the gun that was sitting on his desk and pointed it at him. "Let me go! I can't stand this place anymore!"

He slammed his hand on the alarm, and I shot him. I grabbed the key card and ran toward the back door. I scanned the card and opened to door, to only find a whole team of guards. Oh no.

I slammed the door shut, and ran the other way. What do I do now?! There's no escaping this place. I wasn't paying attention to where I was running, and ran straight into a wall. I fell over and laid there for a minute. My head felt like it was going to explode. The rush in my head was an awful feeling. I covered my eyes with my hands, but that didn't help.

I could hear the guards running towards me. I stood up to run away and hide somewhere in the office. I managed to fit inside of a box and stay as quiet as I could. The guards walked all around, trying to find me.

"Where did he go?!"

"Find him!"

"Search everywhere!"

They spent about 25 minutes trying to find me. The room then went completely silent. Are they gone? I peak my head out, but couldn't tell whether they were gone. I crawled out, only to find a pair of boots right in front of me. I look up and a guard was looking down at me.

"Oh, h-hey! You found me! Now... now you hide!" I tried to run, but he injected something into my neck. I didn't get very far down the hall. I collapsed on the floor and my eyes refused to stay open. I forced myself to get up again, but my muscles were like jello. The guard picked me up and carried me away.

A couple of hours later, I was back in my cell. But this time, I wasn't chained to the wall. I was just in a padded room, wearing a straitjacket. Are they even going to let me out anymore?... I doubt it...

I guess I can face the facts now. I'm crazy. I'm insane. I'm a murderer. I laid on the floor of my cell, staring at the ceiling. My neck hurts, I have voices in my head, and I feel like I'm going to die.

All of the sudden, my door opens. I look up as a nurse walks in with a mask on, and knocks me up on laughing gas. The room began to spin, I felt even worse, so I just continued to lay on the floor. I'm just going to stop trying to escape.

The nurse walks over to me and bends down to inject me with a needle, and walked back over to her cart. I watch her every move. "Hey... can I... ask you a question?"

She looked down at me. "Um. Sure." I laugh a bit. "Do you ever feel like.... Killing someone?" She continued to look down at me. "Um.... no, not really."

"You should try it. It's so fun watching the fear. The suffering. I love it." For some reason, I start laughing again. "Don't pretend like you've never wanted to kill someone."

She looked away for a bit and cleared her throat. A guard walked in. "Hey, I know you. You're the dude who punched that guy who bites people's ears off!" The guard picked me up and laid me down in the corner. "Don't move from this spot." I nodded as he walks out with the nurse.

I turn over to stand up, but the guard laid me back down in the corner. This repeated for 5 minutes, until he just sat there with me. He kept kicking me up on laughing gas. I've been feeling like I'm floating in the air for 10 minutes.

"A-am I floating?" I looked at my feet. "No, you're not floating." I sat up a bit, but the guard gently pushed me back down. "Are you floating?" The guard looked annoyed. "No, I'm not floating."

Another nurse came in and bent down in front of me. "We're gonna get you something to eat. What would you like?" I couldn't think at all. My head feels like it's spinning. "Uh.... I want... I dunno what I want..." The nurse smiled. "How about pizza?" I smiled and nodded.

A few minutes later, and she walks back in with a plate of bite-sized pieces of pizza. I ate some pieces and laid back down. I felt like I had just gotten 10 shots. My body felt weak. I started shaking.

I couldn't sleep, I felt cold and my body was in pain. I just laid in the middle of my cell, looking at the ceiling. This is my new life. This is where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
