The odd case of Mary Parker

Could be worse

After about half an hour of conversing about the list, Andi fell asleep, and they decided they should too. The next thing she remembered was the sound of Alex crying. She ran over to see what happened. He was kneeling on the ground and mumbling something about Andi. Mary ran over and woke Andi up. Andi ran to Alex and grabbed his shoulder. He looked up and just shook his head as he stumbled over and sat against the wall. After he calmed down, he told them what happened. It couldn't be. "I saw Andi, dead, on the ground, right there." He pointed and looked to them for an answer. Mary just nodded as she looked up out of the cell, and saw Alex, the big guy behind him, holding a knife to his throat. She walk over and stuck her arm through the bars, her hand shaking. She looked at Alex and just shook her head. Andi looked in horror out of the cell, as Mary did. The doctor walked over to the cell and smiled as he saw the fear in their eyes. "I am guessing it's working." Alex walked over, the fear in his eyes turning to rage, "what did you do to me?" The doctor let out a short laugh and said, "hmm, I don't have a name for it yet, but it may be my masterpiece. We have created a drug that taps into the subconscious, making the "patient" hallucinate what they fear most." The Doctor smiled and walked away. "That's some twilight zone shit there." Alex said, trying to lighten the mood some. They let out a nervousness laugh and all sat down. He shook his head. "What sick fuck is gonna buy that?" "Well, terrorists, pshyco paths, hell, our own damn government might even find something for it." Andi sat next to Alex on his bed and put her arm around him. "Could be worse."
