          I sat in the lonesome dark corner, near the window. As I looked out, all I saw for miles was the chained fences of the forsaken place. I had been in here for nearly three years, with no chance of ever getting out. I begged and begged,but to no avail. They made me scrub the old, dark and dampened floors til my knuckles were raw. My meal consisted of bread and a gelatinous soup, with unknown ingredients. They had stopped my education, but I secretly read in the confinements of my room. My one bed and small dresser became my best friends, since I had no one here. Well, I shouldn't lie I do have one friend here but our alliance must be kept secret. Her name is Taryn and she's all I have left, if I could find her. 

                This place will be the death of me and I know. I don't think I can survive any longer but, I must persistent. All the bruises,scrapes and pain can not be for nothing. The boring routine is getting sickening every morning. The horrid memories come back in flashes, after months of blacking them out. They think they've erased my memory but I only go along with the charade. Electric shock therapy is what they used, for five long months. I pray every night they don't do it Taryn. Everyone else that is cruelly forced in here wants out just as much as I do. To bad the world on the outside is not, worth it. The blaring sound of the chains rattling, each time a new "patient" is admitted deafens me. 

               I must get out and find my sister Galilea before she is admitted in here. Hope is all I have but, it seems pretty meager at this point. Three years in here and I still haven't found a way out, and my chances are looking slim. Many admissions are hanging themselves or "disappearing" to escape this establishment. I'll admit that I have come close to it many times. I will start the uprising and leave this place at any costs. I just need some help, but if I don't get it I'm not gonna back out. I've been independent to some degree for the past three years and I can continue, until break out.
