How long have i been here?

Weeks?

Months?

Years?

I've lost count.

I neither hunger or thirst.

I feel no pain nor sustain injury, trust me I've tried.

I am no longer sure if I'm even alive.

All I know are these four white walls and window.

There is one reprieve from the madness and it's a window.

A single window on one of the walls.

Through this window i see the world outside.

I see the rain and the sun.

The moon and the stars.

I also see people from time to time

Men, women, and children of all ages and races.

They pass by unaware of my presence.

I have screamed and pounded and clawed and wept.

Alas my laments fell on deaf ears, until her.

She was no more than 10, young and innocent.

A beautiful child by all accounts.

She came to my window and paused.

Could she see me?

I grew frantic in my attempts to grab her attention.

I pounded the glass so hard I thought my fists would break.

I screamed at the top of my lungs until i felt like vomiting.

She placed her hands on the glass.

My heart stopped.

So close, i thought, so close to freedom.

I begged and pleaded for this girl to see me.

To free me from my hell.

She began to speak.

I wept.

I wept with joy and sadness.

I would be free but this child would replace, like the one before me.

However those thoughs escaped my mind as i saw her speak those cursed words....

Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary...
