Outlast fiction: Mrs.Gluskin

Chapter 1 Arrivel

We were all waiting in a line to board the bus. I wasn't too happy about leaving Briarcliff asylum then I was. We all boarded the bus one by one. Until I was the last one to get on,I took a minute and looked back at the asylum, then look forward to board the bus.

I took a seat right next to Amy my gal pal. "Hey" I said as I sat down. She didn't answer. All did was look down at her lap with her hands folded.

I reached over and put my hand on her face to tried to put her hair behind her ears. Then she looked at me and smiled. Those green eyes of hers filled with tears.

Suddenly a nun approached the bus "All right everyone. Today y'all are all going to a new facility. Called Mount Massive asylum just 48 miles away ok. So your be on your best behaviour and may god bless you all" She sounded very happy that we were all going to under someone else's care. And I got to say I was happy too. She got of the bus and that was the last time I saw her. Good riddance. I turned my attention towards Amy and asked. "Why are you sad?"

She gave me a huge smile."I'm not sad, I'm happy that we're leaving this god awful place"she said cuddling right next to me. She put her right on my shoulder and I put my arm around her to comfort her.

"It's ok"I said."We'll be going to a new place away from all of this, you'll see"

I calmed her down and she went right to sleep. She looked so innocent like a child. Infact she was a child, when I first met her she was only 15 years old and I was 42. I treated her as if she was my daughter but some times we have that best friend relationship. Poor girl, I really blame her parents for putting her in that place. No teenager would have to suffer like that. When she first came to Briarcliff, they said that she was mental but when met her she was so full of life and love. I mean sure she sometimes acts like she's 9 years old but still she doesn't belong at Briarcliff nor anywhere.

It was a very long bus ride and Amy was still asleep. I combed her soft red hair and held her tight in my arms. I treated her like a little baby. My baby. Soon I too fell asleep and dreamed that I was in a meadow with Amy and two younger kids, a boy and a girl. The boy looked mostly like Amy. Red brown hair, white skin with freckles with big brown eyes. And the girl looked just like me. She had brown hair like mine, with rosy red cheeks and pink lips. But her eyes were crystal blue and her skin was pale. These weren't my features. Was this my daughter?, who's the father? All these questions started appearing in my head. The redheaded boy looked at the girl as if they were in love and the boy the same. Suddenly two muscular arms appeared on my shoulders and a whisper that sounded like man's voice said "Darling". Then I woke up. We were already here at mount massive asylum.
