Silence In The Night

Chapter 3

I sat up in a cold sweat. I was breathing hard, as if I had been running from someone. But my stomach hurt as if I was laughing my head off. I got up out of my bed drowsily, and walked over to my room door. When I reached to grab the handle, something was different. I realized that there was no handle on my door, but it had a small window. My breathing quickened as I began to panic.

I slammed my fist into the door trying to get anyone's attention. After about a minute, a short man with black hair and piercing green eyes walked up to the door and peered through the window. He looked clearly irritated by all of the noise that I was making. "Stop all that noise boy!" he said loudly. His voice seemed to echo with a sense of authority. I liked that. "Who are you" I ask with what I hoped was that same sense of authority. He doesn't answer me. I became immediately frustrated with him fo ignoring me. As he turned away from the door, I used all my might to smash through the small glass pane, and grabbed the man's collar. I pulled him into the door, and his head connected with the broken glass, causing his skin to split. He yelped in pain. "Where am I" I asked through clenched teeth. In between sharp breaths, the man said that I was being housed in a mental facility after I was found with the body of Dr. Andrew. I gasped, I thought I was dreaming when I killed him.

I let the man go, and he scrambles out of my reach. He quickly grabs a small radio connected to the collar of his jacket, and speaks quietly into it.
