"So you are going to a mental hospital just so you can get a few words out of a crazy person",my roommate Amelia responded as I told her my assignment."Yeah,but this person survived the apocalypse",I argued as i headed out the door too in a hurry to explain.You see,it has only been ten years since crazy cannibals have been roaming the streets.I was only a few years old when it ended,but I luckily never experienced what happened because my family was already prepared with an underground bunker.I was isolated for about six years of my life,but I could never imagine all the stuff those people went through.Now I am about to know what those survivors did in order to survive from one's point of view.
The building was white and most of the bold letters had fallen off over the years it has been here.This place was here even before the virus i believe.
I gulped as l pushed the dull,squeaky door open and walked to the little counter where an elderly lady had her eyes glued to a dusty computer."Umm,mam,I Umm am here to umm...visit one of your patients",I stuttered.She slowly looked up slightly annoyed."Oh",she said as she glanced at the computer and back to me."Are you a relative",she asked."Oh,no mam I'm just a visitor",I said as she scanned me suspiciously. "you're just in time for visiting hours",she finally said moving her mouse slightly."Which pat-ient",she yawned."Um,I would like to see Octavia Woods,please",I said as I looked at the little piece of paper where I wrote her name.
"Oh,OK let me check if she is available",she responded as I waited and started to observe the nurses escorting a patient who was historically laughing.I wondered if this person had to go through the apocalypse an-."Mam,the nurses will now take you to octavia",the elderly lady broke me out of my thoughts.
"This way mam",the nurse said as she led me to a white door exactly the same as the ones it was surrounded by."Octavia you have a visitor",the nurse yelled before she opened the chipped door.
My eyes caught a woman probably around her late or mid twenties sitting on a desk with a pen in her hand.She had a noticeable scar on her left cheek and she had big green eyes with dark brown curly hair running down her shoulders.She greeted me with a weary smile.As I got closer and sat on the chair in front of her hesitantly,I noticed she had freckles sprinkled all over her cheeks.Her eyes were like a haunted soilder's."What brings you to a crazy,monster like me",she said as she tilted her head.
