Hello, Mr. Sanity | Chanbaek

Chapter 6

I sat hugging in my chair, my emotions tied together to the point you could see it floating around, like a balloon of some sort. My emotions clamped together and fighting one another. My emotions distraught, thinking about how lonesome it was here. My emotions tying me down with thoughts I would have never had. My emotions are what made me stuck here.

The world was so gray, the world inside of this room was multiple shades of gray. The lightest shade of gray was Dr. Byun, coming in with a smile that lights everything up. And the darkest black of the lonely room is me, sucking everything up into a pit on doom and wiping every happiness from existence.

My head shook, my breathing becoming more ruffled as I sat alone in my chair, the light flicking off and on as I continued to sit. This has become a routine, sit alone, waiting around for the annoying doctor or my more annoying best friend, sometimes I'll have a nurse come by with something to eat, other times I tell them to leave it outside, the dishes made never getting in attention from me.

Then a knock abrupt at the door, sending my head flying towards the direction on which the sound echoed. The knocks came again, taunting at me as the sounds came again and again, closing in tightly. My breathing faltered as I stared to the door more in anticipation.

"Mr. Park." A voice spoke, a nurse to the sound of it, "Your meal is here." She spoke from behind the door.

"Leave it outside of the door, I'll get it sometime." I grumbled.

"I was told not to let you do that, I have to watch you eat, Mr. Park." She spoke.

"And who advised you to that?"

"Mr. Oh had told me of your eating habits." She spoke, nodding her head lightly as she pushed on into the room, as if she was invited.

I growled under my breath, rolling my eyes in irritation at the stupid woman, "I don't care if he told you or not, he isn't the one you address to for your money." I spoke, throwing my arms in the direction of the door.

She snapped her head towards my figure, a small glare on her wrinkling skin, "Our facility cares for the health of all our patients, and to have good health you must eat and eat all the portions provided to you."

I only scoffed, my eyes making their own glare, "Oh shut up you old hag! You don't know anything about health! The only thing unhealthy about me is that I'm stuck in this God for awful place and it's slowly killing me! It's sucking the life from my soul!"

She only raised her voice, "How dare you call me a hag like you have the right to! You are the patient and I'm the closest thing to a doctor right here! You better not keep disrespecting me, you overgrown man child!"

I couldn't hear anymore of her annoying voice, the sound scratching at my ears and making it bleed. I winced as she kept screaming, the annoyance level of my body only growing more and more.

I let out a huff of air before grabbing onto the tray. The clatter of the plastic hitting the ground erupted through the small room. Next my hand went around her throat, casually squeezing the air from her lungs.

That should shut her up!

I chuckled softly at myself before looking down to the woman, my hand squeezing more and more as I watched her struggle around. Her throat made choking sounds as the air left her body slowly, escaping into the musky air. Her hands came around my arm as she kept hitting and scratching, trying to get my annoyance to quit onto her. It was the old hag's fault anyways, getting me this annoyed with her voice.

My hand squeezed tighter as I heard her chokes subside. I slowly let go of my hand as I felt her body turn cold and stiff, one like a corpse. The grin on my face stood in place as I smirked, watching as she fell to the ground.

Then my body froze, stiffening much like the corpse as a sound erupted from the room, a knock evident at the door
