Kiel is instructed along with the other clients to head to their rooms. One by one the doors slam shut behind them. As he walked to his room he catches a glimpse of Lenny walking down Wing C.
Curious he follows behind a little ways and sees him go into a room slamming the door shut behind him. Who was he seeing?
"You get lost or something?"
Kiel is startled by Nurse Penny, a lung puncher hanging off her lip she looks irritated as Kiel walks past her to his room. Too scared to tell her anything, he walks down Wing A with a staff coming up behind him to lock the door.
He starts to step in before he's shoved in by a staff. He turns around to read his name PHILLIP before the door slams in his face.
"Another riot during dinner? Can't even eat a meal in peace around here.", Mrs.Cranston shuffles through some papers talking to herself. Lenny comes in pulling his zipper up with a grin, "I tell you what Cranston you don't know what you're missing. It's like being a kid in a candy store with all the different flavors you could ask for."
He stops for a moment and sighs with a smile, "But cotton candy has to be the best. Especially when they fight back, that's my favorite part. I mean what an adrenaline rush!"
Mrs.Cranston looks over completely unamused, "Really darling why do you insist on telling me these things?"
"Well i'd tell me dad but never see him", he chuckles.
A scraping sound comes from the storage room nearby. Lenny pulls his stick out and braces for a fight, "Hey you hear that?"
Mrs.Cranston nods her head and whispers, "Did you find that new patient yet? Heard they lost her in the riot?"
Lenny smiles while licking his lip crossing his wound, "Cherry pie, I'm on it."
He pushes the door open and glances over the room. Tables and chairs stacked everywhere. The room almost looks hazy through the sunlight with how much dust is floating in the air.
"Come on out now baby girl. I ain't gonna hurt you, just wanna have a chat with you is all."
He rips a sheet back off a pile of chairs and looks underneath it.
"Oh hard to get? That's fine with me. You see I love to play games, and you'll learn that if you wanna keep fucking with me. Now come out before I lose my patience!", Lenny kicks some chairs over and hears something in-between them crashing on the floor. A sound of a young girl.
In a dark room Gil screams trying to swing his arms around but is useless. His arms hang by his side like putty, the only part of his body useful is his mouth. His leg pounds in slow rhythm, he assumes it's from the broken bone. He slides down the wall feeling helpless.
A low sound comes from somewhere in the dark. Almost like someone with asthma struggling to breathe.
"Who's there? Huh? Let me out man help me! Please!"
Sharp ebony pierces his cheeks from both sides, digging into his skin he can tell they're claws of some sort. The fingers attached are ice cold as they rub against him.
Crying he screams, "Fuck man come on! Please somebody! Anybody!"
He feels steam against his face getting closer along with the sound. A warm liquid spills onto his forehead, saliva.
The sound grows louder into a roar when he falls through the floor ascending into another realm.
He opens his eyes and sees his torturer in a black cloak. That's when it hits him, it's lights out at the institute. He was saved from death in real life but would die excruciatingly in another world.
Gil sighs from relief, "Never thought i'd be glad to see you. Alright lets get this over with."
