SUBJECT 05

Chapter 3

[ B E N ]

One day to go til I can finally leave this rotten place.

I'm aching to get out of here, I can't sit still. Since I can leave my room but not leave the hospital, all I can do is walk throughout the bleach white halls.

I enjoy people watching. I like to walk to the canteen and watch people and their families eating, laughing and getting along. If only my family was like that. They just left me here to fend for myself.

I get lonely most the time being here by myself. Some of the nurses are good to talk to about random stuff. But they are preoccupied by helping other patients. So normally it's just me, by myself.

It's hard. Really hard actually, to have no one to help me through all this shit. I'm not even sick! They just make me stay here so that they can keep 'an eye on me'. In case I try to kill myself, which I haven't even thought about doing yet. All of this is just one big mistake. It's only a dream! Nothing more, nothing less.

What's killing me is having to wait. Only one day til I get to see my friends and my family, that for starters deserted me here. I'm itching to leave.

"Your in my way," a deep voice grunts behind me, pulling me away from my thoughts. I spin around on my heels and come face to face with a giant man. My eyes are in line with the top of his chest. I nearly drop the drink that I bought from the canteen earlier. A scowl spreads across his features as I just stand in front of him, not moving.

"Can you move please" he grunts again, staring down at me expectantly. I just stand there, gawking up at him. He's wearing full camouflage. A cap with the American flag on it, is pulled down on top of his head. What makes me stare at him is the gun that is slung across his chest. What's a soldier doing in a mental institute?

"Move!" He booms, making me jump out of my skin. My heart hammers once against my chest. Quickly I scramble out of his way, pushing myself up against a white wall.

He glares at me, his thick eyebrows twisting together. I can feel my heart beginning to thump harder inside of my chest. He turns on his heels and quickly continues down the hall, his large boots echoing against the tiled floor. I follow his large body with my eyes, until he turns a corner and is out of sight.

Why is there a soldier, HERE! He looked like he was in a hurry. There aren't many people here that a soldier would want to see. Maybe he's visiting someone, no he had a loaded gun. Why would he need a gun? Especially in a hospital. What is a gun needed for?

I shrug it off. There has to be a reasonable explanation to why a soldier is here. He's probably got a sick relative or something here. I don't know? He's here for a reason, it's not my problem.

I look back down the hall, seeing if there are any more soldiers. Nope!

I huff and continue back to my room.

Finally I reach my room! A nurse decided it was time to have a friendly chat, when all I wanted to do was go back to my room. I just nodded and smiled the whole time, not really listening to what she was saying.

I focused on her fake eyelashes. One of them where practically falling off her eye. She didn't even notice! It was dangling from her eye and she paid no attention to it. I feel bad for not saying something. She'll probably notice it sooner or later.

I'm about to turn the handle of my door when a girls voice echoes inside of my head.

"You have to fight for what's right in this world" her voice bounces inside of my skull. My brain rattling with pain. I collapse to the ground, clutching my head. The pain that is thumping inside of my skull is unbearable.
"Never run from a fight!" The girls voice is screaming inside of my head now. My skull feels like it's about to crack open. Sweat is dripping down my forehead and into my eyes. My body is shaking uncontrollably from the pain.

I've completely disappeared into another world. Everything around me seems stale. The air beginning to feel thick against my skin. I feel like I'm sinking into the ground. I'm falling into a void of darkness.

I scream, my lungs rattling inside of my chest.
"Never show mercy!" Pain courses through my body. I squeeze my eyes shut. As the pain begins to make its way into my chest. Is this a panic attack! Am I having a panic attack! What's happening to me!

I wheeze in a breath, trying to calm down. Sharp pain throbs through my body. I can't hear anything except for static. Everything around me beginning to blur together into a washed out mess of colours.

It feels like my chest is about to explode! I can't breathe, I can't see, I can't hear, I can't feel the world around me. All of my senses feel like they are shutting down at once. I can't even feel the floor beneath me anymore.

Suddenly it's all over. The pain disappearing as quickly as it appeared. The girls voice fading back into the darkness of my brain.

What's happening to me?!
