Trenton Asylum

Chapter 4: Smile

Dinah sat thinking about what to do next, she saw a telephone and thought to herself "I've been so stupid all this time, I'll call the police" as she tried to call the police department but the telephone lines were cut off, "of course he thought of it" Dinah thought. She heard a familiar voice on a walkie-talkie lying on the ground, "Doc, you there? I know you're, I can see you through the cameras" said Jack. "What do you want, Jack?" Dinah asked, "I want you...that sounds wrong. I need your participation in about 5 minutes. Oh and if you don't arrive then I'll come and take you myself. To our next appointment" said Jack as he closed the walkie-talkie.

Dinah looks around for anything that can block the entrance, she finds a heavy, tall drawer. She pushed the tall drawer to block the door. Trapped, hungry, and thirsty she waited for Jack's next move, five minutes passed and the TV in the room turns on, she sees Jack on the TV, holding a boning knife and smiling. She turns on the volume in order to hear him and she immediately regrets it as she hears him saying "Time is up, Doc. Don't worry about the knife, it told me that it's a big fan of you work and how you erase the inmates' past without a sweat. Funny enough, I never told you about my past...well, sit back and munch popcorn because it's about to get good. You see I was once this poor man who lost all hope in life, I just wanted to make people laugh because when they laugh, they felt good and that made me feel good but I wasn't very good at making people laugh. I learned the truth from the master of all jokes...life, you see people take life so seriously, people don't get the joke but I do" said Jack.

He sticks the blade  in his mouth and says "I had a wife once who always told me to laugh more, she told me to make more jokes" said Jack as he swiftly swipes the blade through the ends of his lips. "She told me to never give up on making people smile" says Jack as he cuts the other side. "She told me to always...". The television turned off suddenly while Dinah froze in fear, "Smile" said Jack as he stood behind Dinah. She turned around looking at Jack. "I stitched the cuts do you like it?" Jack asked. "It looks like a..." Dinah was interrupted by Jack "Smile".
"What did I tell ya Doc, be in section A-24 in 5 minutes or I'll come and take you. You obviously didn't go, so here I am" said Jack in a menacing manner.

"Kill me, just do it already" said Dinah, "As fun as watching you die would be, I prefer to keep you alive...you're more fun to keep around" said Jack with a menacing grin. "Wait, how the hell did you get in here?" Dinah asked, "That's not important right now, what is important is ALL THE FUN WE'RE GONNA HAVE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA" said Jack as he handcuffed Dinah and went outside the room. "The madhouse hasn't even started yet" said Jack as they headed to section A-24.
