I woke up to find myself in a dimly lit cushioned room, I rubbed my head as I struggled to remember my own name which I found rather strange, "Who am I?" I would slowly raise myself off the ground and onto my feet as I looked around the room trying to figure out why I am here, I would look towards the door in the dimly lit room near my right, I walked towards the door and started to feel an ache in the side of my stomach, 'Did I get kicked or something?' I would pull up my shirt to find a large bruise most likely from being hit which peeked at my curiosity, however it was suddenly the least of my worries when I heard a loud creak coming from outside the door, I knew I had to get out of this place but I need to know who I am.

I decided that once I couldn't hear the creaking I would try and take my leave. I waited for a few minutes before the creaking was gone, I slowly opened the door but to my demise it let out an eerie squeal from the metal hinges, I cringed at this sound as I looked around the new area, when I turned my head to the left I found a horrifying sight the whole place was a a mess, mobile beds scattered everywhere as if they have been throw, toys ripped with the remains thrown across the hallway, then there was that disgusting smell, I felt like my stomach had something trying to crawl out of it and into my throat but, that wasn't the worst though, there was this little girl with dirty blonde hair probably around 7 to 10, she was just sitting there her gaze piercing through my skin sending chills through my body, it was like I wasn't even there, I went towards her slowly only for her to move her head in my direction every time I stepped to the side to avoid the mobile beds and toys.

Once I was a few inches away approximately 10, she began screaming and kicking her legs violently as if I was some sort of rabid animal, as I stared at the child with her kicking her legs around a bright flash of light appeared and I saw something from my perspective of a child kicking their legs and screaming at the sight of a large group of doctors and a needle, the image then stopped, 'I suppose that is what people call a flashback, but I don't believe that is my memory... Could it be the little girl's?'

I stepped closer towards her and knelt down only to hug her, she would wrap her arms around me and suddenly disappeared, I had stayed there in shock, when I looked down there was a page in the place of the little girl, it was a map, at the top it said 'First Floor Map Of The Asylum For Lost Youth.'

I began to piece things together, 'I think I was brought here because of something that I may have done? But who am I? What am I doing here?' My train of thought was stopped when I heard the sound of something opening, another door possibly? I looked at the map and decided I should head to the administration room since it was in the middle of the building, it shouldn't take too long if I take the shortest route, I need to find out where I am though.

I looked around the area finding writing near a door that appears to be in paint, I read it out loud to myself as I stare at it, "Block J..." I looked back down at the map and tried to find Block J, when I found it suddenly groaning loudly in frustration having noticed it is the furthest from the Administration I had then heard the sound of the hospital beds being moved from behind me, I had instantly booked it out of there not looking back having figured that this is not a normal mental asylum, and if it isn't normal it is certainly not going to be safe I cannot afford to trust my emotions over my instincts, nothing is to be trusted right now, if I trust in my emotions I will not be able to get out of this place, it can play tricks on my mind if I let it, I REFUSE TO LET IT!

I shook my head calming myself down, I looked around to find I was near the surgery rooms in the J Block, if I can manage to get out of here before I go insane I might be able to find out who I am.
